Most chewing gum contains plastic—just like bags & bottles! 🤯 It’s polluting our streets & harming our planet. Let’s ban it! Sign the petition now! 💚🌍 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ba...

Roads quieter in London this morning? Fewer cars on the road, can't put your finger on why? Well I am happy to help

This will be a must read for people interested in facts rather than myths. And, yes, that’s a dig at a former PM.
