In Britain, we produce enough rubbish to fill Cardiff's Millennium Stadium every week! If everyone lived as we do, we'd need two and a half worlds.

Almost 2,000 people visited the Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales and The National Library of Wales stand at this year's National Eisteddfod in Swansea on the first day of the week-long festival.
