The brief

Art Gene have completed the concept design for a mobile low carbon demonstration vehicle and trailer which will be capable of touring key sites across the Barrow peninsula showcasing a range of 'everyday' low carbon technologies which could be adopted within business and community spaces and supported by the Low Carbon Barrow Grants Programme where necessary and appropriate.

Bug-Out will help people save carbon in their everyday lives and promote the actions and advice resulting from the Council's Climate Change Policy and Action Plan.

BugOut will also support the programme of Citizens' Assemblies and public engagement events planned to support the implementation of the Low Carbon Barrow Programme as well as support the realisation of benefits from the exemplar demonstration projects.

Art Gene will procure (in accordance with the Council's Contract Standing Orders) a specialist fabricator to work with them on the construction of BugOut.

Art Gene directors (Maddi Nicholson and Stuart Bastik will support the appointed fabricators on the detailed specification and final design).

Art Gene will appoint a Environmental Engagement Manager to accompany BugOut and support the development of a community outreach programme taking BugOut to community events including community sports events, schools and highly trafficked areas of the town centres and civic spaces.

BugOut may also link up with the Low Carbon Lake District ESIF programme and go 'on tour' across Cumbria.
