Metal Mines and E-bikes

BBC Radio Wales - Country Focus, Metal Mines and E-bikes

The impact of pollutants left by abandoned metal mines, and upcycling old bikes.

We explore the impact of metal contamination from derelict mines on our landscapes and health, and why we should all be getting on our bikes to tackle climate change.

The polluted legacy of metal mines in mid wales -  a new study fears that lead is having an impact on both wild and farmed animals nearby.   A call for farm subsidies rethink over Ukraine war.   Stand for Nature - a project to help young people take action for wildlife and the climate in their local areas.  And the not for profit, social enterprise in Denbighshire, upcycling old, unwanted bikes and fitting electric motors to second-hand or discarded bicycles.
