Cannes Lions recognises the fight against plastic
The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity took place this week where the Design Grand Prix went to the Trash Isles campaign for successfully raising awareness around plastic pollution in our oceans.

Women who drink white wine are happier than those who drink red
Research has found that women who drink white wine are happier than those who drink red. 200 people volunteered to blind-taste six white, rose and red wines (sounds like a hard life!), and were then asked what feelings were evoked.
