The Boundary of

AfSL aims to provide City Centre residents with opportunities to live in a more sustainable way. We do this by first, providing people with relevant information and resources that help make small steps towards big changes. Second, we encourage residents to sign our 'Sustainability Pledges' that provide framework for making such changes. Third, we encourage members of the City Centre community to organise themselves into Action Groups focussed on a particular sustainability issue, such as waste reduction or access to local and Fair Trade products at the City Centre, etc.

These actions are needed foremost because City Centre is a vibrant locality, albeit lacking in a strong sense of identity and of community. AfSL fosters sense of community and self-worth by encouraging residents to take responsibility for their own lives and to form Action Groups based on shared concerns. Moreover, City Centre is 's facade and as such should serve an example of a community living sustainably, looking clean and acting friendly toward other people and environment.
