V3 helped make a people powered banner for a Green Alliance campaign stunt around the Budget calling on George Osborne to Keep the Northern Powerhouse Clean and back renewable energy for the region.

We made a custom sign which lit up when people held hands to complete a circuit. The number of people holding hands changed the colour of the display. Technical details for the project can be a href=”https://github.com/tinmantom/Communal-lie-detector”>found here

Over 80 organisations from across northern England signed the following declaration:

“The future we want is one with clean air, healthy people and resilient communities … To make this vision real, the 2016 Budget must enable us to develop and grow renewables for our region into the 2020s. The UK government should be celebrating clean energy as core to its economic plan. To cherish what we love about our region and reassert our place in the forefront of the world’s economy, we ask the Chancellor to back clean energy for the North.”
