Green Rewards

What is Green Rewards?

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

You can accumulate points for undertaking actions such as reusing and recycling, and log these actions either via the Green Rewards app, or the web platform.

You 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 if we all make small changes to our lifestyle together, this adds up to a big difference!
