ARE YOU LEAVING THE CAP ON?
Plastic bottle caps are one of the most common items of beach litter and pose all sorts of problems for wildlife. But thanks to advances in recycling, lots of bottles are now sold with attached lids so you no longer have to remove them before recycling – and they are less likely to then end up as litter. Because they are made from different plastics, the lid material floats in the water bath during the recycling and washing processes, while the bottle part sinks. Clever stuff!

3 WAYS WITH TINNED FISH
Save money and boost your oil-rich fish intake
Drain the oil from a tin of sardines into a pan then add and gently fry garlic, chilli flakes and pine nuts until golden. Add a couple of handfuls of shredded kale plus a splash of water; cook until tender. Toss through cooked spaghetti with the sardines and a good squeeze of lemon.
Stir diced peppers, tomatoes and cucumber through couscous and top with tinned mackerel fillets in spicy tomato sauce, which acts as a dressing. Scatter with rocket.
Combine drained tuna with a spoonful of natural yogurt, chopped spring onions and grated cheese. Spoon on top of halved baked potatoes and pop under the grill until bubbling and golden.
