People, businesses and iconic buildings all around the world will switch off their lights for an hour as part of the World Wildlife Fund’s Earth Hour Campaign.  Landmarks will be plunged into darkness, including the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, the Forth Bridge, Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Table Mountain in Cape Town and Sydney Opera House. The event is designed to show global support for action on climate change.  

The Swansea Environmental Forum would like to encourage as many people, businesses and other organisations in Swansea to get involved. Swansea Council has already signed up and will be joining in by switching off the lights at civic buildings for an hour. The lights will go out for an hour at the Civic Centre, the Guildhall and the Council's offices in Penllergaer.

Let’s see if we can get even more individuals and organisations involved in this exciting campaign!

SEF's project Sustianable Swansea has on its website an interactive map, part of the international Green Map series. The project was the first in Wales to produce a Green Map.

It contains 100’s of places that help make Swansea a more sustainable place to live, work and visit; from nature spots to recycling points, from community centres, to places to buy organic / local food or eco-friendly products, where the local charity shops are, and how to get around without using your car.

Using the Award Winning, Open Green Map System, Swansea is the first in the UK, and one of the first in the world to have developed a map using this technology.

We hope that you find it useful and find it easy to use.  Please let us know what you think.
