An NGO has reportedly established that many members of a consortium, whose stated aim is reducing the problems of plastic waste, have invested billions in plastic production (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jan/21/founders-of-plastic-waste-alliance-investing-billions-in-new-plants). This might genuinely reflect a desire to control which plastics are produced (and effectively recycled) or it might be simple 'greenwash'.
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.
