What do you do with electrical items (e.g. phones kettles, laptops) when you are no longer using them?
Please tell me in this short survey on electronic waste and help me with my research for my MSc in Sustainability and Behaviour Change.

What should you put in which bin? It isn't always easy to know how to recycle your plastics and other waste. Overall, we want to follow the resource hierarchy - directing our efforts towards reducing plastic consumption & reusing products before eventually recycling or composting

People will be warned they need to put less in their recycling bins as part of a Government overhaul of waste disposal

Today is #WorldWaterDay. We need clean water & healthy oceans for our well-being and that of our planet. Chemistry helps us unpick the problems & prevent pollution – but we also need policy to support a #circulareconomy in which we consume fewer resources & create less waste.

The headlines from our biggest survey of science teachers show it’s not just about pay. Understaffing, workload, & an overcrowded curriculum risk undermining high-quality science teaching in the UK & Ireland.

Do chemists and physicists think differently?
Here @IOPTeaching's @charlesmtracy and @RoySocChem's Izzi Monk discuss this and other important points about differences in reasoning and learning between the sciences 👩🏾🔬
