Trying to use less plastic?

Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more.

Farage forgets which country he aims to govern In domestic and foreign policy, the British right’s vulnerability is its America-worship

"The percentage of Britons who say they are Christian and attend church regularly is down to single digits. Among the young, it is 6 per cent."

Farage's Reform appealing to “Britain’s Christian heritage" is just racist bollocks

Starbucks claims of ethical conduct and supporting farmers are a sham.

It books profits from the purchase and sale of green coffee beans in Switzerland, dodges taxes.

Shifts profits. 18% mark-up on all global coffee purchases before re-selling to other Starbucks subsidiaries.
