Greenpeace have accused Italy of moving masses of plastic waste to 'illegal' factories in Malaysia where the material is either burned or buried in landfill (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/10/italy-told-to-stop-using-malaysia-as-plastics-dumping-ground-greenpeace-landfill). They have suggested that this practise (probably also involving other countries) is simply dumping their environmental responsibilities in an era when selling plastic waste for recycling has become more difficult.
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.
