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.

Prime Time?
The ingredients of the Prime range of soft drinks certainly appear less damaging than 'traditional' cheaper alternatives with more sugar (and often caffiene). It's not sure, however, they can be regarded as a 'healthy energy drink' option. It, just seems weird, that a combination of hype and (arranged?) 'scarcity', has apparently made bottles of Prime 'must have' items for many UK children. People have been reported to pay up to £12.99 for a single 500 ml plastic bottle. Kids go wild to collect bottles of the different flavours. An empty bottle can sell for £1. This line, of course, does nothing to reduce single use plastic.

It will 'hydrate' kids but it's a very expensive way of doing it!
It's worrying, when YouTube influencers with a boxing background determine what our kids drink (and their parents spend their money on). It would be more reassuring if genuine experts actually had an impact but I guess they're not entertaining enough!
