FIRST - get yourself a fab non toxic lunchbox that's built to last! 😜

We saw this viral recipe, and had to give it a go! Here's our version of cheesy courgette wraps.

These cheesy courgette wraps are sturdy and pliable once baked, and the taste is indulgent, tangy and deeply savoury. This is an interesting, fun way to use up a glut of courgettes, but we would say that they take a bit of time and dexterity to prep. They’ll go with myriad fillings – try anything that you might put into a wrap, flatbread or taco.

Serves 2

You'll need:

1 large courgette
50g grated cheddar cheese
50g roughly torn mozzarella (or just use 50g more cheddar)
black pepper
olive oil

Preheat your oven to 200°C/Gas 6. Line a baking tray (35cm x 25cm approx.) with parchment and rub it very lightly with olive oil.

Thinly slice the courgette and then lay the slices out, slightly overlapped in shingle pattern, so that they cover the tray in a thin layer. Scatter the cheese across the top evenly.

Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 10 minutes before flipping it out onto a chopping board and gently peeling away the parchment paper.

Cut in half to give you two wraps. While still warm and pliable, load it with your fillings of choice and roll it up burrito-like.

Since we launched our campaign last week, we've been featured in national newspapers including The Guardian, The Times, The Independent and The Daily Mail, Guy's been on BBC R4's Today Programme, Sky News and BBC Spotlight, and over 40,000 of you have signed the petition against glyphosate being sprayed on crops before harvest. Will the UK government listen?

We need to balance food production with the health of people and the environment. The benefits of glyphosate simply do not stack up. Continuing to spray crops just before harvest is a risk we do not need to take; the risk to our health and the environment are out of proportion to the benefit in reducing costs. It’s madness, and the UK government should be doing more.

We do not need to ban glyphosate overnight. But we can take a clear first step to prevent it from directly entering the food chain by banning its use so close to harvest, as a pre-harvest desiccant. The EU has already banned it. Why is the UK lagging behind?

Did you know landfills in the UK have reduced from over 20,000 to just 540? 🤯

However, there’s still a belief that a lot of our waste ends up there, particularly on social media.

♻️Recycling is important, but it should be the last step, not the first.

In this video, Wi******er Recycling Manager, Mike Neese, shares the one thing he wishes everyone understood: reduce first, reuse second, recycle third.

Recycling is not a free pass to keep buying single use items. The system works best when we send less through it in the first place.

Easy to make, high in protein, and very yummy.
These are called Mayak Gyeran in Korean, which literally means “drug eggs” because they’re that addictive.

Find the detailed recipe in the caption🥚🤤

Just 10 minutes of prep and you’ll see exactly why they’ve earned that name. You can eat them with rice, chop them up and add them to salads, or put them on toast and enjoy. They last well in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.

It's and freezing greens is one of our favourite ways to reduce waste.

We all know the feeling. There's a bag of something green in your fridge. You know it needs eating. But honestly, you're not going to get through it before it goes brown and oozy. Solution? Wash it, and b**g it in the freezer. You can do this with any greens you're going to cook - spinach, kale, chard etc. The leaves crumble satisfyingly into dishes, so there's no need to pre-chop.

In the UK, 60% of food waste happens in our homes. And according to each year, households throw away 4.4 million tonnes of edible food – that’s worth £17.5 billion and creates 16 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. So it's pretty significant.

What's your favourite way to reduce food waste? We'd love to know how you make your food go further.

🩸 Microplastics in our blood?
Part 2: The results are in.

Last week we asked a simple question: Are there microplastics in our bloodstream?

The results were surprising.

One test showed 20 particles per millilitre of blood.
Another showed 200 particles per millilitre.

That’s the difference between roughly 100,000 and nearly 1 million microplastic particles in the human body.

What struck us most wasn’t just the number.
It was the difference.

Exposure can vary significantly. Which suggests something important: the materials around us really do matter.

Measuring microplastics in the human body is still an emerging area of science. Methods are evolving and standards are still being developed as researchers work to better understand both physical particles and the chemicals associated with plastics.

Many plastics contain additives, such as stabilisers and plasticisers, that can migrate over time. Researchers are now exploring how microplastics may act not only as particles, but also as carriers of these chemicals within the body.

Across this growing body of studies, one thing is becoming clear: microplastics are being detected in human blood and tissues.

The exact numbers may evolve as the science improves. The signal itself is clear.

For us at Notpla, it reinforces the mission.
Plastic pollution isn’t just an environmental issue anymore.
It’s increasingly part of the human health conversation.
