Problem
We often hear in the news, that fish-stocks are being depleted and rainforests the size of Wales are being chopped-down. Managing our natural resources is vital to ensure that we continue to enjoy things we do today in the future. It is essential that public bodies in Wales are actively supporting the goal of a globally responsible Wales.
Simple Change
