What live sewage spill data does (and doesn't) tell us about water pollution
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain During periods of heavy rainfall, pipes known as storm overflows aim to prevent excess water from overflowing into the sewage system. But this is not always the case. During intense rainfall, combined sewers (which carry both wastewater from homes and businesses and rainwater running off roads and buildings into drains) can exceed their capacity. To reduce the risk of sewage flooding homes, businesses and roads, storm overflow pipes can contain excess water.

How much microplastic are we actually breathing in?
You’ve already inhaled thousands of microscopic particles today. Some will be dust, pollen or soot, and some are plastic. Microplastics – tiny fragments shed from clothes, tyres or packaging – have been found pretty much everywhere. They’re in oceans, soils, wildlife, remote mountaintops and deep-sea trenches and the atmosphere is no exception. But how much plastic are we really breathing in? And should we be worried?

Is it possible to have an eco-friendly firework display?
Many of us will send off the old year and start 2025 with a bang. New year celebrations will vary in size from small back-garden firework displays to large-scale professional shows. Last year, London’s main event released 12,000 fireworks – just one of many annual events held worldwide to entertain and celebrate. The British Fireworks Association estimates that in the UK alone, roughly 10 million people buy and use fireworks each year. But perhaps it’s time to use more eco-friendly alternatives?

As accounting professors and hosts of the podcast " Taxes for the Masses," we know the U.S. tax system is more complex than many other countries.
