'Climate Legends' celebrated at awards

TWO people, a business, a community group and a school have been acknowledged for doing their bit for the envionment.

They were all nominated by the public for helping the planet and the city’s net zero mission.

Five winning entries were selected from 40 nominees. Entries were so compelling that all the nominees were invited to a celebratory walk down Art and Energy Collective’s mossy carpet at The Big Green Trail over the weekend.

The mossy carpet was crafted with the help of thousands of people, with each pom pom celebrating a tiny climate action, making this a fitting venue for celebration.

The Big Green Trail event offered a range of free activities across the city. From mermaid purse-making at the National Marine Aquarium, to free bike rides at Victoria Park, crafts at Central library, to immersive screenings at Market Hall.

Winners of the Local Climate Legend initiative were decided by a panel of experts which included Nudge Community Builders and Net Zero Exchange (University of Plymouth).
