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.

Meat Off the Menu in Lyon
The 'green' mayor of Lyon has, for now, taken meat off the city's school menus (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/feb/24/meatless-school-menu-sparks-political-row-in-france). The mayor, Gregory Doucet, claims that 29,000 children cannot be served with a choice of a meat-dominated or vegetarian meal, in the 2 available hours for socially-distanced lunches. Everyone needs to eat less meat, if we want to actively counter climate change. I suspect that there would also be a fuss if vegetarians couldn't get their meal. Removal of meat was, however, always guaranteed to cause uproar amongst the farmers and restaurateurs of France! It's the end of the world!
