From now until September, staff teams at the University of Nottingham have a chance to win a prize by participating in the carbon calculator on
Green Rewards.
The new built-in carbon calculator on the platform allows you to calculate your carbon footprint based on your home lifestyle and your footprint and at work too! By answering a few questions, you receive a footprint score and recommendations of activities based on your results —allowing you to take action in reducing your impact in target areas.
The carbon calculator is a great tool to gauge your impact on the planet and find the best ways to lower it.
We want to reward the top staff team with the lowest average carbon footprint, encouraging you to continue taking sustainable actions to reduce your environmental footprint.
What is your carbon footprint score? Get started now on the Green Rewards platform to become a winner and an eco-warrior!
