Earn rewards for your sustainability actions

The University of Edinburgh is excited to introduce the Sustainability Rewards App. This innovative platform is designed to help students and staff enhance their sustainable practices and reward the sustainable actions they’re already taking. 

What is the Sustainability Rewards App? 

The Sustainability Rewards App is a web-based platform available on browsers, as well as the Apple and Android app stores. It provides practical guidance on various sustainability themes, including energy saving, waste reduction, eco-friendly shopping, and more. With a user-friendly interface and a self-paced engagement model, the app makes it easy for participants to integrate sustainable practices into their daily lives.

How does it work? 

  • Track the sustainable actions you’re already taking and celebrate your progress. 

  • Learn and discover new ways to live more sustainably. 

  • Earn rewards for your continued commitment to sustainability. 

Whether you’re participating as an individual, a school, or a society or club, the app introduces a fun competitive element, adding extra motivation to track and improve your sustainable actions. 

Think of it as Duolingo for sustainability—engage at your own pace, earn rewards, and make every sustainable choice count!
