WHAT YOU CAN DO
Communicate and collaborate to create a net zero Mural
Work together in consultation with local residents, schools, colleges, community groups and organisations.
This could be the perfect project for a local artist. Both the mural and the development process will raise their profile and promote their work
Commissioned artists can provide a draft design that draws on community discussions and ideas, and then revise their design in the light of community feedback.
This process can be another great way to bring people together and get them discussing the key issues.
