Every fortnight, the ENDS team runs down the biggest green news stories, shines a spotlight on some pretty nasty chemicals, and takes a forensic look at one of the more deep-rooted environmental issues facing us today.

In this episode:

• DEFRA's missing environmental principles 
• Why justifications for a new coal mine don't stack up
• The fate of the UK's plastic waste
• The towns with the worst air pollution
• England's dirty bathing waters
• And microplastics in make-up
