Wales Sustainability Week Calendar of Events

There a number of exciting events next week across the area as part of the Wales Sustainability Week.  
The purpose of the Wales Sustainability Week is to encourage individuals, and organisations from all sectors and communities to:

• take action to make Wales more sustainable;
• celebrate and promote what they are already doing;
• become part of a network that works together to make Wales more sustainable.

Keep Wales Tidy, Communities First Llwynhendy and Carmarthenshire County Council are championing the cause locally and Gillian Handscomb of Llwynhendy Communities First said:  “These are going to be fun events that will promote recycling and sustainability to all members of the community.”
