Green Rewards Notts residents taking action on climate change notts.greenrewards.co.ukWhat is Green Rewards

Green Rewards is a free online platform designed to encourage Broxtowe Borough residents to undertake sustainable actions, which in turn help reduce their carbon footprint.

Users  accumulate points for undertaking actions such as reusing and recycling, and these actions are logged either via the Green Rewards app, or the web platform.

Residents can sign up to Green Rewards at https://notts.greenrewards.co.uk/ or download the app by searching for ‘Notts; Green Rewards’ in the app store.

The idea is that together if we all make small changes to our lifestyle this adds up to a big difference!
