Benches that contain hidden stories, what a fantastic idea 👏💚!

Sunderland’s carbon emissions mostly come from:
🏭Industrial and commercial emissions;
🏠Domestic emissions; and
🚗Transport emissions.
Sunderland has reduced its carbon emissions by 28% from 2005 to 2017. Together we can reduce Sunderland's carbon emissions every year.
