It has been reported that 'Bags for Life' can prove to be health (food poisoning) risks if they are used to carry raw meat or fish (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/oct/02/bags-for-life-carry-food-poisoning-risk-if-used-for-raw-meat-or-fish). I would have thought that this was obvious and that people would only put well-packaged meat in their trusty bag (fresh meat and fish can be placed in plastic bags without charge). Perhaps the bags should carry reminders printed on their sides but this would detract from the generally positive messages they traditionally carry.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
