The

wrap

In an innovative move to

protect our planet, Ocean

Mimic have created swimsuits

from recycled plastic, and for

every $10 spent on a product,

they collect 1kg of trash

from oceans and

beaches!

A test of

honesty

In a study

spanning

40 countries,

researchers put the

public's honesty to the

test by dropping 17,000 wallets with

varying amounts of money in, and

seeing how many were reported. In a

surprising turn, the more money there

was inside the wallet, the more likely

people were to return it!

An 'ace' campaign

Amateur tennis player

Robyn Moore spent June

hitting 200,000 tennis balls

to raise awareness of

the mental health

benefits of sport.

The Breakpoint 2019

challenge was lauched

with former British #

Tim Henman. That's one

love to mental health.

THE GREATEST SHOW

Roll up, roll up! The circus has

come to town, but it's like nothing

you've seen before. To make a stand

against the mistreatment of animals

in the industry, Circus Roncalli

in Germany has started using

holograms instead of live creatures,

which fill the entire arena. The

special effects spectactular set the

founder back more than £400,000,

but has lit up social media, and is

going down a storm with audiences.

The futuristic development is a win

in the fight against animal cruelty –

something to definitely cheer for.

100% my type on paper

New research has found that we do indeed have 'types'

when it comes to relationships. This isn't about looks

though, it's the personalities that have similar traits, and

while we might look for something different in a partner

post-breakup, our understanding of how to work with

that type of personality could be a reason we keep going

back – we've already developed strategies for connecting.

Force Blue is an

organisation recruiting

veterans in Florida

for diving missions to

help local coral reefs.

Scuba diving can

be therapeutic for

those with PTSD and

depression, so one

thing springs to mind:

just keep swimming!

BOTTOM'S UP

Itchy eyes, runny nose – the dreaded hay fever

season may be in full swing, but soothing those

sore eyes could come in the form of tickling

those tastebuds. Asthma UK have noted that

while drinking alcohol such as wines and beer

can make symptoms worse, gin has a relatively

low histamine content, so could be your perfect

alternative to unwind! G&Ts all round.

IT'S BBQ (BLUNDERS) SEASON

Delivery service Just Eat have launched a 'BBQ Rescue Service',

in the build-up to a summer where Brits are predicted to ruin 58

million BBQs. Their research discovered that 66% of us have had

either over or undercooked food at a BBQ, and 75% admitted to

eating before going to a BBQ for fear of the food on offer!

66% of us have had overcooked BBQ food

It seems part of the problem is hosts struggling to meet the dietary

needs of friends and family, with 16% of vegetarians noting

they only have one option (a bun and a salad), while 10% of

vegans get nothing at all. If you don't want to rely on a back-

up takeaway this summer, check out our vegan recipes to

make your BBQ a success on p58 – now we're cooking!
