Who's Your Hero? 

The Wales Green List is an annual sustainability award, which celebrates those individuals who are making Wales a better and more sustainable place to live. The list features 52 people - one for every week of the year. The first list of its kind in Wales, the Green List brings together the different elements of sustainable development –
environmental, economic and social – in one award.  One of only three governments in the world with a legal duty to promote sustainable development, the Welsh Assembly Government is making sustainability the ‘central organising principle’ of everything it does. The Wales Green List shows how people from all walks of life across Wales are taking positive
action too, to help create a 'One Planet Wales'.  The Wales Green List shows the people who are leading the way in tackling issues such as climate change, recycling, local food, healthy living, housing, education, and developing a green economy.
These include entrepreneurs, politicians, teachers, musicians, poets and writers, eminent scientists, community workers, young people and volunteers.  The Wales Green List and Green Heroes exhibition were developed by Cynnal Cymru-Sustain Wales - a not-for-profit organisation that gives practical information about sustainable living and assists the Welsh Assembly Government in its duty to promote and increase awareness of sustainable development across society. If you would like to nominate your Green hero for 2010, the closing date is 17th September.  Nominate your hero at www.SustainWales.com
