What is the "no-wash" movement? Jul 27, 2023

Show notes

The “no-wash” movement is a trend that involves washing clothes and hair less often, or not at all, for environmental, economic, or practical reasons. Some followers of this movement claim that frequent laundering is unnecessary for maintaining clean, odor-free clothing.

They also argue that washing less can save water, energy, money, and time doing chores. However, not everyone is convinced by the benefits of the “no-wash” movement. Some critics question the hygiene, comfort, and social acceptability of wearing unwashed garments or hair.

Why is it gaining popularity ? What are the pros and cons of the “no-wash” movement ? How can people join the “no-wash” movement without compromising their health or appearance ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Which conspiracy theories were actually true? Jul 26, 2023

Show notes

The origins of Covid-19 still remain somewhat hazy, over three-and-a-half years since the virus began spreading across the world. That has led to a number of prominent conspiracy theories, with 25% of people in the UK believing that Covid was definitely or probably a hoax.

That finding was part of an April 2023 survey by Savanta for King’s College London and the BBC. It also established that belief in other conspiracy theories is relatively high too, like the idea that the cost of living crisis is a government plot to control the public. Of course, the vast majority of them are false, but there are certain exceptions to the rule.
