    From disposable gloves to surgical instruments, how could healthcare be greener?
    Can we prescribe medicines in greener ways? And can we reduce paper use and other forms of waste?

    Plus they learn about drug maker GSK, formerly known as GlaxoSmithKline. It is looking at ways to reduce the impact of asthma inhalers, which contribute to almost half of its carbon footprint. Find out why and what's being done about it.

    Planet-friendly periods

    Planet-friendly periods

    Could a lack of knowledge and understanding be holding us back from trying more sustainable period products?
    Have you ever considered using a menstrual cup but been unsure if it would work for you? Or wondered about the impact of single use tampons and pads? Then get ready for a very frank and open conversation about the options out there!
    Period products clog up sewers and drains and pollute our rivers and beaches. Many single use products like tampons and sanitary towels also contain plastic. So what options are out there if you're looking for more sustainable period products? And how well do they actually work?
    Deborah and Fliss meet Kathryn King, who talks about periods on TikTok. She talks them through everything from menstrual cups to reusable underwear.
    This episode was inspired by a question from listener Naomi. If you have a question for us, email the team at GreenMoney@bbc.co.uk or talk to Deborah and Fliss on Twitter using the hashtag #GreenMoneyShow.
    Presented by Deborah Meaden and Felicity Hannah.
