We’re loving... We’re hating... We’re buying...

Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

An affordable alternative to double glazing is EcoGlaze – a secondary, acrylic pane that can be easily fixed to the inside of your windows with magnetic tape. Though not as energy-efficient as double glazing it will significantly reduce heat loss at a fraction of the price – EcoGlaze costs around £20 per square metre. Available from www.365plastics.com
Hating... Bengals
These exotic pets might look like pussy cats but they can be pretty beastly, says pet behaviour expert Debbie Connolly, founder of www.safepets.co.uk . “I’ve nicknamed the breed the Asbo cat because of the amount of times I have had to deal with their anti-social behaviour.” Frequently aggressive towards other cats, Bengals are fighters, not lovers.
Buying... plates
Fancy something to add some colour to grey February days? These pretty plates are both bold and eco-friendly thanks to the fact they’re made from 100 per cent recycled glass. Buy them from www.biomelifestyle.com for £10 each and if you’re feeling flush, splash out on a matching vase from the same range to fill with flowers too.
