A new study suggests that 'dirty old town' Salford has more energy-efficient homes than anywhere else in England and Wales including Brighton and Bristol, cities that are generally thought of as being centres of 'greenness' (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/mar/14/salford-greenest-city-bristol-brighton-england-wales). Salford also does well in its encouragement of green spaces, such as parks and fields. It just goes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover (or a city by the songs about it).
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.
