Green Tech Surge; Student Gambling; "Daycapping"

You and Yours

Available for over a year

Rising bills due to the war in Iran is generating increased demand for Low Carbon technology such as solar panels, heat pumps and EVs. We'll hear from business owners who are reporting an uptick in sales - plus we have advice for consumers on what to consider if they're considering adopting any green tech. A new report reveals that students may be gambling less but they are spending significantly more when they do it. We hear from one former student who overcame a serious gambling addiction which developed while at university plus hear what more needs to change to raise awareness and tighten regulation of the industry. And has Gen Z called time on late night drinking? Day time drinking is on the up as people turn their backs on late night socialising. We hear from young people in Manchester about how their habits are shifting and from those in the hospitality and drinks industry about how it can adapt to changing social habits. PRESENTER - WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER - CATHERINE EARLAM
