\r\nComedian Dai Henwood joins us to chat about his life as an environmentally minded dad, a fan of Japanese philosophy and the history (and ethics) of tea. Waveney counts down the top tips to enjoy a sustainable cuppa and explains what happened to NZ's short-lived soft plastics recycling programme at supermarkets (which has since relaunched on a more targetted scale). We also discuss Lego, the concept of Extended Producer Responsibility and the importance of going for a walk with your kids.
\r\nThis episode's tips (on tea): Use loose leaves; Boil your kettle with only the water you need; Compost your leaves; Buy local when possible.
\r\nThis discussion mentions the link between plastic, dioxins and ill health effects. You can read about these links in the Royal Society, Science Direct and Environmental Science and Pollution Research and other peer-reviewed research.
