<h2>What's it all about?</h2><ul><li><strong>Clean Streets: </strong>This activity is in conjunction with the Plymouth City Council and Innovate UK 'Clean Streets' project. Over the past few months a series of innovative pop-up charge-points have been installed around the Hoe and Millbay areas. These Electric Vehicle (EV) charge points are an import step in the transition away from fossil fuel powered transport. <a href="https://www.plymouth.gov.uk/cleanstreets" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.plymouth.gov.uk/cleanstreets </a></li></ul><ul><li><strong>Art and Energy: </strong>The Art and Energy Collective is a group of artists, thinkers and tinkerers specialising in participatory arts practice with energy and the Climate Emergency as our focus. We work creatively to help people engage with our evolving energy system; helping participants develop skills to imagine and bring about a better future. We believe that art has a vital role in engaging everyone in our transition to lower carbon emissions. <a href="https://www.artandenergy.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.artandenergy.org/ </a></li></ul><h2>What to expect:</h2><ul><li>9:00-9:45am: Meet at The Waterfront</li></ul><ul><li>9:45-11:30am: Energy walk with activities - we will be going for a walk around Plymouth to visit the new charge points and explore the city through an energy lens.
