Look up for two meteor showers this week
Shooting stars and fireballs could create quite a show
in the night sky this week courtesy of two meteor sh owers.
The Draconid meteor shower will be active through October 10, although Tuesday night might afford th e best view.
The
South Taurid meteor shower is expected to peak on the evenings of October 9 and 10, according to the American Meteor Society. If this doesn't pan out, the Royal
Astronomical Society of Canada's Observer's Handbook suggests that the peak could be on Nove mber 6.
Look out for the Draconid meteor shower in the early evening or nightfall. This won't be one you have to stay up past midnight to see.
The full moon is on October 13, but even in the days lea ding up to it, the bright moon may obscure the light of the meteors. However, the Draconid meteor sho wer is on the smaller side. Expect to see a few met eors streak across the sky in an hour.

‘It’s the only way to combat single-
use plastics’: Birmingham’s zero-
waste supermarket
Zero-
waste shopping promises to cut down on wasteful p ackaging and eradicate single-
use plastics from the weekly grocery shop. But can we really be weaned off our addiction to the ease a nd convenience offered by traditional supermarkets, with their pots of chilled products and plastic-
wrapped packs of fruit?
Jeanette Wong and partner Tom Pell think we can. In June 2018, they opened the Clean Kilo, a zerowaste vegetarian supermarket in Digbeth,
Birmingham where shoppers buy in bulk, bringing in their own containers and filling the m with everything from rice,
pulses and pasta to yoghurt, butter and milk.
The idea is to keep packaging to a minimum, so ev erything is scoopable, pourable and refillable. You c an squeeze your own orange juice, get ice-cream in cones and find a selection of fresh fruit and vegetab les. There are eco-
friendly cleaning products and personal care items. Moisturiser and body wash are sourced locally from nearby Bournville, and the contents of the five-
litre containers can be pumped into shoppers’ vess els. Washing up liquid, detergent and cleaners are dispensed from stainless steel containers into custo mers’ bottles, while laundry and dishwasher powder s are scooped into their containers. There’s not a pi ece of single-use plastic in sight.
