If we are going to take recycling seriously, it may be time to help the recyclers by removing 'hybrids' from the chain (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/apr/20/plastic-products-recyclers-single-use). These are items, such as singing birthday cards, which look to be made from cardboard but obviously contain cheap electronics and toxic batteries. They are difficult to identify and difficult to dispose of effectively.
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.
