| 809 | 2020-11-19 | Plastic is a brilliant material. But our relationship with it is trash It’s in your smartphone, you brush your teeth with it and it’s even in your mattress.

| 800 | 2020-11-16 | The deep seabed holds vast knowledge about how Earth works. That’s why scientists are finally mapping the ocean floor Only 20% of the ocean floor has been mapped in any detail because even the most cutting-edge technologies aren’t effective at the greatest depths.

| 796 | 2020-11-13 | Yes, it’s all the fault of Big Oil, Facebook and ‘the system’. But let’s talk about you this time The idea that individuals can’t solve the climate crisis has gained momentum in progressive circles. They say we can’t change the world by shaming each other for air travel or eating meat. But how much are ideals worth if they don’t demand sacrifices? |

| 790 | 2020-11-11 | Not every Trump voter is racist or misled. There’s a rational Trump voter too Joe Biden won the US elections last week. But Donald Trump still got a record-breaking 71 million votes. These can’t all be explained away by ignorance and racism. There’s a rational Trump voter who we need to understand if we want to keep the forces of populism at bay. |

| 783 | 2020-11-06 | How to cope with the year of uncertainty in the age of on demand We built a culture of speed, but a pandemic forced us to go still.
