Going green – the Swansea media can help


Any Swansea Bay business planning to tap into the ethical or environmentally-friendly markets should have a peep at Green Light.
This homespun A4 journal – only a few editions away from its glorious 150th – is the newsletter of Swansea Environment Centre.
It’s produced with great diligence, it’s tremendously chatty and it’s well-read.
One of its regular treasures is the back-page Diary, a tremendous list of events with a green lean – everything from local produce markets to taster sessions in crystal healing.
Lead story in the latest (February/March) edition is on the current Fairtrade Fortnight. There are plugs for an Oxfam coffee morning, an event at Mumbles’ Red Cafe, a lunch at Jersey Marine’s Towers Hotel and a show at the National Waterfront Museum.
Elsewhere, there’s a splendid little list of eco-links. They include Eco-star, Miksani, Traidcraft, Bishopston Trading and Bibico.
Other enterprises with a positive mention include Coastal Housing Group, looking to build in Swansea’s Prince of Wales Dock.
Those interested in being featured in Green Light should give me a call on 07758 745 240. I’ll tell you how.
