In 2021, the Office for National Statistics released a report following some research on how the lockdowns had impacted on people's relationship with nature.
There are quite a few useful aspects to this report which might be relevant for those teachers who want to provide a slightly more nuanced treatment of the likely themes in any draft specification.
Consider this quote for example:
Nature has been a source of solace for many, as lockdown rules have heightened our appreciation for local parks and green spaces.During the lockdown, I started to create a collaborative Google document which captured a range of stories on the Pandemic.
This resource is still available for anyone to view here.
I hope that this particular period of history will not be repeated, although it did at least temporarily reduce the amount of carbon emissions that we all created - although the legacy has been 'revenge tourism' and an ever-growing fleet of delivery lorries. We seem to have bought into the habit of letting other people do our shopping for us.
