Mossellany Monday #5: Energy Walk
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:
🌿🔆ENERGY WALK: Step out into the great outdoors and let your energy sensors take over, our senses are all about feeling the energy around us. What do you feel?

The sun, water, and soil are the original players of nature's energy game. Rain, clouds, and wind bring a wave of fresh energy.
Plants are the green energy generators of the planet. Animals, birds, and insects are the cute little energy sparks that light up our world.
Solar panels, wind turbines, and mobile phone masts are the tech-savvy energy wizards. Boats, cars, bicycles, and trains are the energy machines that take us places.
Pipes, wires, roads, and machines are the energy pipelines that power our lives. Bricks, pavement, and homes are the energy nests where we rest and recharge.
So, what are you waiting for? Get out there and feel the energy!
Record your findings in a notebook, you could write or sketch the energy all around you.
We’d love to see your energy inspiration, you can share it 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.
