England plans to put a ban on plastic straws, stirrers and cotton swabs by April of 2020. “These items are often used for just a few minutes but take hundreds of years to break down, ending up in our seas and oceans and harming precious marine life,” says Michael Gove, Environmental Secretary. This is a monumental decision that could influence a movement around the world to make a small and simple change to, potentially, save the Earths pollution issue.

The podride is an electric, 4 wheeled bicycle that looks like a car. Although it may seem unpractical and a bit silly at first, when diving into the specs of the "car" it seemingly has no faults. It runs off of electricity and has a top speed of 25kmph. The maximum distance for a full charge is 60 kilometers, or roughly 37 miles. This may not be as revolutionary as a fully electric car, however it may spark interest in moving on with more electric vehicles that are not so expensive.
