We caught up with Dr Angela Campbell, PhD Manager of the WellSleep Centre, University of Otago, Wellington and she provided us with some insights into the most common symptoms women might experience whilst going through menopause, which are insomnia, hot flushes, snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea.

The UK recently announced a 25 year plan to eradicate avoidable plastic waste which includes single use products like wet wipes, which contain non-biodegradable plastic.

Manufacturers will either have to create plastic-free wipes or people will have to go without them, the BBC reports.

We invited Seven Sharp to Moa Point (one of our wastewater treatment plants) yesterday afternoon, for a closer look at what happens to the wetwipes you flush down the toilet, and to talk about why you should only flush the 3P's - pee, poo and paper [toilet paper].
