Cheap, comfortable clothing – including leggings, gym gear, and fleece jackets – result in tonnes of shreds of plastic in our oceans and seas. […]
There are plenty of people clad in green today – but we dare say that few will look as fancy-pants of the Duchess Of Cambridge.

The proud nation of Ireland has some pretty weird and wonderful breakfast habits. Yup, when it comes to going all out with a glorious morning fry – absolutely nothing is off the menu.
