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.

From Chimps to Underwear
Dr Jane Goodall has been feted for her seminal work on the behaviour of the Common chimpanzee in Africa. She has now expanded her range of expertise into underwear advertising (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/may/12/g-strings-in-the-mist-you-wouldnt-expect-jane-goodall-to-be-fronting-a-campaign-for-underwear). Goodall has agreed to front for the Australian company, Boody. Boody make briefs and other garments, using material from bamboo. Goodall didn't even have to travel for the shoot with the underwear-wearing Australian models. She performed in front of a 'green screen' in London, thus avoiding any 'greenhouse gas emissions' by air flights. Goodall's fee was paid to the Jane Goodall Institute, supporting her work with primates. Nothing wrong with that!
