Creative Connections - Building A Whale with Penn Climate Action

Back in the Spring of 2021 Penn Climate Action were commissioned as part of our Creative Connections project to produce a project that looked at plastic waste. The team worked with RAW to help people in the community build a large sculpture made out the collected pieces.

Alex from RAW popped these lovely pictures online and we thought we’d share.

It's not everyday you make an 8ft tall whale! We had lots of fun working with the local community in Warstones, Wolverhampton on Sunday 25th July 2021 - including young people and our extended RAW team - on this huge recycled plastic sculpture. The project was organised by Penn Climate Action as part of Plastic Free July 2021 and supported by Creative Black Country. Local people delivered plastics for us to use to make the sculpture to show how much plastic we throw away in a day.
