Dr Lynne Carpenter-Boggs, at a recent American Advancement of Science meeting, has advocated composting of human remains (https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/feb/16/human-composting-could-be-the-future-of-deathcare). It is already legal in the US state of Washington and appears to be a greener way of deathcare than burial or cremation. I have always thought that we are but mobile compost.
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.
