Sustainability is as much cultural as environmental.

This means, remembering local traditions, heritage and roots as well as appreciating new aspects of the culture. We should support our community by attending local events, purchasing local products and getting involved in community activities. 

Entertainment – support local theatres, cinemas, museums, galleries, schools and churches.

Music/Art – find out who the local talent is with regard to singers/bands/writers/painters/dancers.

Food and Drink– shop locally, try local produce and cuisine and support local restaurants, cafes, bars and pubs!

Sport – Join your local sports club and/or support the local teams

Heritage – Use your Welsh, no matter how little it is. Give your house a Welsh name, learn the historic names for fields, hills, streams and any other local topographical features, use bilingual signage and letterheads and sign up to any of your local council’s promotions of bilingualism. 

Quality of life

Cultural diversity – riverside market 

By the way…Bhutan don’t have gdp they have gross domestic happiness.
