<p>In Episode 10 of the Practically Green podcast, Anna and Eibhlin chat about something that's becoming a bigger concern for all of us: microplastics. They start by breaking down what microplastics are and why we should care about them, and then share some practical tips on how to avoid them in our daily lives.

It's a game-changer for anyone looking to reduce their impact without a lot of hassle.</p><p>Anna, on the other hand, dives into the kitchen, offering loads of easy tips on how to keep microplastics out of our food while we cook.

Both have committed to trying and reviewing a recipe for the next episode so watch this space!</p><p>In the "What's in Season" segment, the hosts share what they’ve been planting lately, with Anna offering some delicious ideas for using up the fresh veggies that are now rolling in from the garden.
