This week’s blog is about showing my poster. I want to talk a little bit about my feral entity and how I investigate it.
The feral entity in my project is some lawns in Edinburgh. The main methods of investigation were photography and questionnaire. Firstly, The reason why I investigate lawns and litter is that Edinburgh has a lot of lawns, but when I walk by lawns I can almost always find litter on the lawns. So, my project is about lawns and garbage.
Secondly, I mainly took pictures and conducted questionnaires. I photographed plastic bags, paper bags and even glasses on lawns in Edinburgh. （figure 1）And I even filmed cigarette butts being discarded near the grass on the side of the road. （figure 2）Obviously, this is not a good phenomenon.

In addition, 50 people took part in the survey, most of whom had seen litter on lawns in Edinburgh. And recyclable is the main kind of garbage that is thrown away on lawns. (Figure 3)

Thirdly, the following is the content of the poster. The posters contain wild entities, Feral quality, Tippers, Anthropocene detonators, and more. (figure 4)

Finally, I want to call attention to lawns. Although lawns can be seen everywhere in Edinburgh, please do not leave litter and objects on the lawns. Thanks for your reading.
