It goes without saying that most of the things we do in our day-to-day lives have an impact on the environment or on someone, somewhere, somehow. Sustainability is about how we can enjoy a good quality of life whilst still protecting our stunning landscapes and reducing the impact we have on our natural environment and people, locally and globally. We want to help Swansea become a really sustainable place to live, work and visit – and that means we ALL need to TAKE ACTION! That’s why we’ve produced this Green Map, which highlights over 250 resources that will help you choose more sustainable ways of living. Remember – Every Action Counts – and the more we do, and the more of us that do it, the bigger the impact for a better future (go to www.everyactioncounts.org.uk for more info). We’re not on our own; the Swansea Green Map is just one of over 400 Green Map projects that are part of an ever growing international movement, promoting and supporting action for sustainability in more than 50 countries around the world. Next time you’re on the internet, check out the interactive version of this map at www.sustainableswansea.net - because it’s on a website it has a lot more info than we could fit in here! While you’re there, why not have a look at other Green Maps, go to www.greenmap.com. About us – Sustainable Swansea is a partnership project that is led by Swansea Environmental Forum (SEF). SEF is an association of organisations, groups and individuals working together to initiate, develop and coordinate action for the environment across Swansea – SEF also compiled Swansea’s Environment Strategy and Action Plan.
The future of Swansea’s GREEN MAP is in your hands - literally! If you have any suggestions, comments or revisions please contact us.
