Milan, September 24 2021 – While the city prepares to host Youth4Climate and Pre-Cop 26, which anticipates COP 26 in Glasgow, the neighborhoods welcome the Street Actions, the projects of young Milanese winners of the Food Wave tender, financed by the European Commission with the objective of creating an alliance between mayors and young people for a green, inclusive and sustainable future of cities.

In Milan, the leader of the project which involves 16 international cities and 13 civil society organisations, the initiatives selected as part of "Food Wave - Empowering Urban Youth for climate action" started in September and continue this weekend too with a new calendar of appointments.

Plant based revolution
The second Animal Save event dedicated to art, urban horticulture and sustainable food will be in via Golgi. At the center of the two days - Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 September - the creation of two environmentalist-themed murals also made with special paints that absorb CO2, thanks to the collaboration of the internationally renowned artist Moby Dick. There will then be horticulture lessons with an expert agronomist and the shared creation of mobile gardens made with recycled materials - thanks to the Develò association - and donated, through the Mutuo Soccorso Milano network, to those in need.
