They discuss how governments have been discussing how climate change has to be tackled once this pandemic is over, and review how scientists have found the highest levels of microplastics ever recorded on the seafloor. They also explore the history and background to May Day. Finally, Zara reviews the book “The Indian in the Cupboard” by Lynne Reid Banks.
