It’s Exeter Carnival time!
Carbon looms large, it is the giant of our times.
Join The Art and Energy Collective in person at Positive Light Projects during Exeter’s Carnival (26/11/22) from 4-8pm to craft your own BURY the GIANT Badge to celebrate local environmental action.
During this free drop-in session you will receive a ply badge and have access to all sorts of lovely reclaimed threads and materials to adorn your own badge. Suitable for young and old, this will be a chilled out space for people to spend time getting creative during the carnival hubbub.
If you can’t make it on carnival day, join The Art and Energy Collective online as we journey into wild moss forests, seeking inspiration and tools that will help us to BURY the GIANT.
Throughout 2023, summon your creative powers. Together we will make a brighter greener future.
We will use the power of art to:
help restore some moorland
make green energy
celebrate positive action
reduce carbon emissions
raise funds to support people in fuel poverty

Why moss?
At the dawn of time, moss was the first plant to venture out of the sea and onto the barren land.
Over millions of years, mosses trapped energy and buried carbon deep beneath the surface, transforming our planet into a place where life could thrive.
Moss grows in the cracks, at the edges and in the shadows. Look closely and you will discover a truly wild place on your doorstep.
Each tiny moss reveals skills for successful living. Persistence, resilience, simplicity, adaptability. From moss we gain hope as they return carbon to the earth.
Though small, moss tells us that tiny actions can make a big difference. When we work together, we can bring abundance back to abandoned places.
