Energy Plan; Gen Z Fashion; Student Digs Shortage

Available for over a year

Big changes have been announced about our energy bills. The new cap means the average household bill will be £2,500 from October. Joe Malinowski from The Energy Shop joins us to explain more on this. Plus we hear your concerns over why standing charges have gone up. New research shows that despite Generation Z’s concerns about the environmental impact of the fashion industry, they are still the biggest drivers of fast fashion. We hear how companies like eBay are trying to combat these concerns and sustainable fashion influencer Izzy Manuel explains why she always shops pre-loved. And it’s almost time for students to head to off to university – but what if you still haven’t heard whether you’ve got a place in halls of residence? Lucy Suss from Exeter is heading to Manchester, she tells us how she was turned down from university accommodation and offered money to live somewhere else.
