Welcome to the Sustainable Swansea site
Here you will find all the information you need about our project  and what 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:
  • Get Sust! working with communities and groups on how to be more sustainable, attending and organising events.
  • On the Trail; a collection of locations which forms the Swansea Sustainability Trail.
    Projects include, Swansea Community Farm, The Environment Centre, Down to Earth Project, Rosehill Quarry, Bishops Wood Nature Reserve, Llys Nini and Penllergare Woods - all of which show sustainability in action.
  • Digital Media Training; a great informal way of gaining skills with digital photography and editing. 
  • Green Map Series: A growing collection including a Swansea-wide map, community green maps for Penlan, Castle, Townhill, Morriston, Pontarddulais and Gower.
  • Sustainable Swansea Awards Scheme; rewarding sustainable action by schools, businesses, community projects, public agencies, and individuals.

Sustainable Swansea is managed by Swansea Environmental Forum in partnership with the City and County of Swansea, Swansea CVS and the Environment Centre.

Wise up to food!
As part of our work in Eastside, we are running a food workshop where you will find out more about local food, packaging and food waste. There'll be lots of advice and freebies to give away. So come along to this informal session which will take place in January.
The date and venue will be posted here once confirmed.




Digital Streams - Photography Exhibition


We started to explore the River Tawe in May and took the group out on four trips to photograph various locations on the river with a final day learning to use Photoshop to edit them. The project offered a fun and friendly way to learn about digital photography, to get outdoors and to find out about how the river affects us and how we affect it.
The exhibition of stunning photographic work is currently on display at the Environment Centre until the 20th December- so why not pop along?

Gower Green Map

The latest green map in the series is available and has been distributed to a number of places around Gower including Post Offices, community centres, Pennard Library and the  mobile Library as well as a number of shops, cafes and visitor attractions.

The map highlights many of the Environmental, Sustainable and Community features of Gower in an easy to use form and will soon be available to download in digital form from the Sustainable Swansea website.
For more information see the Green Map page here.

The Swansea Sustainability Trail

Picture

The Sustainability Trail brings together a collection of local projects and organisations to give practical examples of how we can look after our world and the resources it provides. Each project is happy to welcome visitors (some by prior arrangement only) and provide tours of their site to show how they are contributing to a more sustainable world.
