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.

Food Waste Frenzy?
Many people, in the UK, are dependent on food banks in order just to eat/ feed their families. It's, consequently, rather sad that the British reportedly also throw away £1.2bn worth of food every year (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jan/20/uk-food-waste-dont-know-what-to-cook). Censuswide obtained 2000 responses from a survey aimed at UK consumers. 50% of respondents actually felt guilty about their food waste. Weirdly, however, 20% said they could reduce food waste, if they knew more recipes. This is bizzare, because recipes have never been more available. They can easily be found in books, on TV/radio and online. Could it be that recipe-deficient folk are just too lazy to check out the options?
