Environment, Nature and Cultural Heritage.
The fourth evening in our Curious Minds series is the first of three talks on the subject of Recycling.
Dr Kevin Ross from Impact Solutions spoke about various kinds of plastic, how readily they can be recycled, how well they are recycled, the environmental consequences of (not) recycling, the value of plastic products as part of their lifecycles and external factors such as the international trading of waste. Whew!
A video of the evening can be found on our YouTube channel:
Even to a casual observer it seems obvious that the noise generated by ships, boats, drilling rigs, sonar and other forms of human activity must be a problem for marine creatures.
Yesterday evening, Dr Luke Rendell, from the University of St Andrews, spoke about the extent and detrimental effects of both natural and man-made noise on marine mammals.
