Getting back into Postgres again after a while, I can see why things like Mongo were popular for a while. It's so hard shifting your thinking between json (nested data) and sql (flat arrays)

I think a pretty simple change we can make around plastic is to use more soap and less handwash (except people who need to use handwash).

In the shops soaps are often hidden away on a bottom shelf and not much choice in comparison.
