Eluned Morgan MS, Minister for Health and Social Services, speaking ahead of the Greener Primary Care Wales Framework and Award Scheme Launch in 2022: "We need to redouble our efforts on the climate emergency":

On an individual level, zero waste is an extremely high bar to aim for and it can certainly seem quite intimidating. However, the Greener Primary Care Wales Framework advocates for a large number of people making small changes because the evidence suggests this will have a bigger impact overall than a small number of people making big changes.
