It has been reported (https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/oct/18/tesco-stocks-green-oranges-in-drive-to-reduce-food-waste) that Tesco is to stock green-skinned easy-peeler Satsumas and Clementines in an effort to reduce food waste. The fruit are said to be perfectly ripe but the unusually hot weather in Spain has produced the colour change. This seems a sensible move but I suspect that some customers will be resistant to the idea.
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.
