Mossellany Monday #9: Travel

Art and Energy have been working with Plymouth Culture on a series of Creative Climate Conversations. Our conversations with creatives across Plymouth helped shaped our new book Be More Moss: A Mossellany of Questions for Life.

Each week we’re going to spotlight a simple activity from the book for you to try, it could be on your own, with friends & family or with a community group:

👣🚲🌍TRAVEL: Exploring the world for a better understanding of our lives

It's not always easy to see our own lives clearly until we venture outside our comfort zone. Traveling to a new location, whether nearby or faraway, can offer new ways of living that may inspire personal growth and transformation.

Choose an experience that can teach you something new and lead you towards a more sustainable lifestyle. Devise a plan for traveling there with the lowest carbon emissions possible.

Record your journey with notes, sketches, photography etc. You can share your travels with us on our BurytheGiant.Club which is free to join and everyone is welcome.

Art and Energy put together Be More Moss: A Mossellany of Questions for Life for anyone who likes to ponder, doodle and have new ideas - we invite you to draw on your imagination and get creative with this miscellany of facts and quotes about marvellous mosses, with activity pages waiting for your pen and stories of our past and future.

We've designed this book so that it can be used on your own, or as a group activity. It's full of moss-inspired activities and prompts that help people bypass eco-anxiety and think about things in their lives that are relevant to responding to the climate and ecological emergency. It's suitable for teenagers, young adults, older persons, parents or grandparents.

Be More Moss: A Mossellany of Questions for Life is available to read and download, free of charge: https://issuu.com/.../final_be_more_moss_a_mossellany_of...

Treat yourself to a printed copy for £15: https://www.artandenergy.org/.../be-more-moss-a...
