Diolch, Brif Weinidog. It’s really encouraging to see people and organisations with plans and initiatives to both lower their own carbon footprint, but, more importantly, lower others' as well. Two such organisations in my constituency are RE:MAKE Newport, who have opened the first permanent repair cafe in Wales, with the support of many volunteers in the community, and the award-winning Sero Zero Waste, based in the grounds of Tredegar House, who sell refillable and sustainable products. These are almost universally accepted as good initiatives, but setting up organisations can be a struggle, and maintaining them long term quite often requires support. How is the Welsh Government helping organisations such as these to both establish and thrive long term, and how can we encourage more of them to start up in Wales?
