๐ŸŒŠ 17 murals have popped up around #margate highlighting the impact of pollution on our seas, in a campaign by @CleanRise

This one by Nuno Viegas is my favourite, & represents how hermit crabs occasionally make their homes in plastic items. ๐Ÿงต Image
And this one by Smug shows a native grey seal caught in a six-pack drink pull. Image
This mural by Doudou highlights a leatherback turtle confusing a plastic bag for a jellyfish. Evidence suggests all turtles worldwide have some plastic in their guts. Image
This is the Greek goddess of the seas, Amphirite. In the blurb for the piece the artists Nomad Clan highlight how by 2050, 90% of all coral will have been wiped out. They ask how humans have trashed the sea we once so revered. Image
This mural by Dreph shows the sea slowly rising as children play on thr beach, and asks whether it is fair to ask the next generation to deal with this scenario. Image
The Four Seahorses of the Apocolpyse by Curtis Hylton. They represent water acidity, rising temperatures, pollution and overfishing. Image
This by David Shillinglaw is intended to remind passers by of how water companies are allowed to pollute our seas with raw sewage. Image
And this by Lily Mixe highlights the importance of coral to the ocean ecosystem, which are often overlooked and misunderstood. Image
There are still more I haven't seen, so will add to this thread as I do. They have brought much needed colour to the streets.

What role can communities play in the transition to net zero?

Have been in Oxford today with community energy businesses from across the country, speaking to @CSkidmoreUK + @innovateuk about the barriers + enablers to supporting more community owned energy. 1/ Image
We discussed how community-owned energy:

1๏ธโƒฃ leverages other investment into the net zero economy (e.g. via Community Shares)
2๏ธโƒฃ fosters local support for net zero transition
3๏ธโƒฃ delivers 13x the community benefit of commercial energy installations
It is clear local + central govt could better use existing tools to unleash community-level innovation by:

๐Ÿ” unlocking their assets for community use
๐Ÿ’ฐ being smarter with procurement to build and retain wealth locally
๐Ÿ— improving interaction between planning + energy networks
