Gamified and Fun

Cartoon active children surrounding a smiling Earth with a face, with a bright smiling sun below. The children are playing, holding flowers, watering, and relaxing against the Earth, which is on a grassy patch with flowers, trees, and animals, symbolizing caring for the planet.

Each challenge gives schools the chance to earn (or lose) points as they compete to make the biggest impact on waste and emissions in their local area.

A friendly inter-school competition and national leaderboard make climate action exciting, measurable, and rewarding.

DfE Strategy Aligned

A cartoon-style illustration of a girl with multiple hats stacked on her head, standing in a starry night sky with a bright sun smiling in the sky. Surrounding her are animated characters including a smiling moon, a green cartoon insect with wings and red sneakers, a smiling brown rock with yellow eyes and arms, and a bright shining sun with a face.

Programme aligned with the DfE Sustainability & Climate Change Strategy — delivering real-world projects that support all five pillars: climate education, green skills and careers, the education estate and digital infrastructure, supply chains and operations, and international collaboration.

Students get to play their part in tackling waste, pollution, and emissions through fun, hands-on learning.

Peer-to-Peer Delivery

Secondary school students help deliver the programme by tracking and recording progress, creating a self-sustaining model that also prepares them for work placements in the green economy.

Measurable Impact

Our Earthometer dashboard tracks the impact of the programme on litter, waste, air quality and carbon savings, supporting schools and local councils with their net zero targets.
