    How can I eat healthy on a budget?
    Jun 28 2026
    The first quarter of 2023 has seen food inflation in the UK surpass 16%, according to the Office for National Statistics. Such inflation rates hadn’t been seen for forty years. It’s contributed to the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, and an increasing number of people are struggling to afford to buy enough food. With all that in mind, many people’s number one concern right now is keeping their supermarket bill as low as possible, regardless of how healthy what they’re eating is. But there are ways of sticking to a balanced diet even on a shoestring budget. Isn’t healthy food always expensive? What are the tips to buy healthy food at a low cost?

  • What is Extinction Rebellion ?

    What is Extinction Rebellion ?
    Jun 28 2026
    This environmental movement was created in England just a few years ago in October 2018, but quickly spread all across the world. Extinction Rebellion’s aim is to compel governments to take action against global warming and environmental collapse. It’s earned a reputation as a radical organisation, due to its disobedience and disruption tactics. But only using non-violent action is one of its key principles. Also known as XR, Extinction Rebellion was born from a realisation that traditional protest methods were insufficient when it came to the environment crisis. These activists felt new methods and organisation forms were required, taking inspiration from other grassroots movements like Occupy, the American civil rights movement or the suffragettes. What do they actually want in concrete terms? How did such a young movement get to be so rich and powerful? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

    What is Neo-Luddism, the growing anti-technology movement?
    Jun 28 2026
    In today’s ultra-connected society, more and more technologies are emerging all the time, and they’re getting increasingly advanced. Just look at how far AI has come in recent times, and the attention it’s been getting since the launch of ChatGPT. In many ways, it’s difficult to not use technology. To not do so would be like cutting ourselves off from the rest of the world. But still, it’s not to everyone’s liking. Some people resent the influence that some forms of technology have on our society, and want to reject them. They are known as neo-Luddites. Where does the name come from? Could AI have the same impact? And today, how is Neo-Luddism exemplified? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • Could I save more money by cash stuffing?

    Could I save more money by cash stuffing?
    Jun 27 2026
    With inflation at the highest it’s been in 45 years, it’s no wonder people are looking for ways to manage their money more effectively. And the trend we’re talking about today has really taken off on Tiktok since the start of the year. The #cashstuffing hashtag had already reached 1 billion views on the platform at the time of recording. There’s actually nothing new about cash stuffing; in many ways it’s as if we were going back in time a few decades to when bank cards didn’t exist. It consists of allocating a certain amount of money to an expenditure category, like groceries for example. How does it work then? Does it actually work then?

  • What is plasticrust, the latest concerning form of pollution?

    What is plasticrust, the latest concerning form of pollution?
    Jun 27 2026
    A March 2023 study by American scientific magazine PLOS One revealed how plastic pollution of the oceans has reached unprecedented levels. An estimated 2.3 million tons of plastic are now floating in the seas or have been deposited on coastlines. These figures are alarming, both for wildlife and for us. We know the consequences of microplastics on animal and human health. We’ve also seen garbage patches created in the middle of the oceans. But on the coastline, another form of pollution has appeared: small pieces of plastic have become embedded in the rocks to create what’s been labelled “plasticrust”. What is this "plasticrust" made of? What impact could plasticrust pollution have? What’s happening with the UN treaty on plastic pollution? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • Why can't Royals take selfies ?

    Why can't Royals take selfies ?
    Jun 27 2026
    If you ever meet a member of the royal family, you might be tempted to ask them for a selfie or an autograph but don’t be surprised if they politely decline. There are some good reasons why royals don’t take selfies or give autographs as well as a whole host of other rather unusual protocols that they must adhere to. Royals are often surrounded by crowds of people who want to see them or talk to them. Signing autographs or taking selfies could expose them to potential threats or harm. Also it could create a lot of chaos and confusion in the crowd, making it harder for security personnel to protect the royals. But there is a more important reason... What is the problem with selfies? What are some other things that Royals can’t do? So what should you do if you see a Royal?

    How does the 'vegan but bacon' outlook help people achieve their goals?
    Jun 26 2026
    we’re nearly halfway through 2026 so let’s take a moment to consider how many of our New Year’s resolutions we’ve actually stuck to so far. I don’t know about you but I didn’t even bother this year; I’ve just failed to keep so many in the past that I didn’t want to set myself up for disappointment again. Wait a minute, vegan but bacon - aren’t those polar opposites?! Are we basically saying it’s fine to only do things halfway then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
