Welcome to the Sustainable Swansea site.
Here you will find all the information you need about our project and what we aim to do.
The Sustainable Swansea initiative was established in 2004 and aims to help make Swansea a more sustainable place to live, work, and visit.

Some of the projects we are working on include:

Digital Media project

The Digital Media Project has worked across Swansea Communities First areas, delivering ICT training and taster sessions, working with local residents to produce Green Maps of their community.
The latest addition to the Green Map series is for the Morriston area and work is already underway on the next map in the Pontarddulais area - to find out more, email dai@environmentcentre.org.uk

Bont Byw!

This year we have been working in the Pontarddulais area, undertaking a project aimed at raising awareness about environmental sustainability in the town. The events and activities cover a range of subject areas such as waste, energy, biodiversity, food and travel. We are involving as many residents, groups, societies etc. as possible.
To find out more about what we've done so far, read on, or to get involved contact Delyth Higgins.

Carbon Footprinting Project
Last year Sustainable Swansea undertook a Carbon Footprint project in the Morriston area of Swansea. It was a pilot study in order to learn about how best to help individuals and communities think about the impact their lifestyle choices have on the environment.
