As development officer for Cynnal Cymru-Sustain Wales, Rhodri Thomas meets a number of community based organisations trying to develop a more sustainable way of living in some of the most economically deprived areas of Wales. Whenever he asks people what they think is the best way of engaging people on sustainable development issues, the answer is always the same; “show people like us doing it… and make it funny!”
With help from friends in the TV business, Dafydd Palfrey and Boyd Clack, and with the support of Cynnal Cymru, he decided to make a film that would both celebrate the actions of real people and also provide the viewer with a few laughs. The result is the ten minute pilot episode of Eco Worriers which you can watch here:-
Organisations which have chosen to put sustainability at the heart of their work
Bringing together communities acting on renewable energy and energy efficiency
A framework for the public and third sectors in Wales to commission support and advice on sustainable living
