Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities and Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

# data[].attributes.body
Goal 11: since the world's population is ever increasing, we must improve and build modern and sustainable cities that are both environmentally friendly and culturally diverse. Urban areas should have affordable and safe housing, green and efficient public transport, inclusivity and sustainability in urbanisation, green public spaces, personal and economic protection from natural disasters, national and regional development planning, safeguarding in place to protect cultural history, and a reduced environmental impact.

Volunteering for your local homeless shelters and charities such as Matthews House in Swansea, taking public transport, shopping and eating locally, take care of public spaces such as parks and beaches.

Goal 12: Consuming resources responsibly is essential so that we can reduce the harm inflicted on our planet from unsustainable consumption. The earth has limited natural resources, so we must be mindful when producing products and consuming goods to protect our planet and environment. We must responsibly manage the use of chemicals, reduce the generation of waste, encourage households and businesses to undertake sustainable practices, implement sustainable tourism, remove marketing encouraging wasteful consumption, and promote an understanding of sustainability within the community.

We can be more conscious of packaging and our recycling habits, choose reusable products, buy second hand, donate your clothes and furniture etc., research the companies you buy from, and volunteering for environmental charities such as Swansea Friends of the Earth can help achieve this UN goal.
