How does Green Rewards work?
Users are rewarded ‘Green points’ for logging actions which reduce their carbon footprint and can then be exchanged for vouchers. There is also a leaderboard which participants can use to monitor how Broxtowe is performing. 
As part of Green Rewards, Broxtowe Borough Council is promoting small changes residents can make to make a big difference starting in January 2022.
How have Broxtowe users already made a difference?
Through participating in Green Rewards and carrying out a total of 5,000 green actions users have saved:
- 17 tonnes of carbon
- 77,000 litres of water
- 5 tonnes of residual waste
- 1603 single use items
How can I make a difference?
The different actions that residents can take to earn points fall under 6 categories with Green Rewards – Travel, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Energy and Carbon, Get Involved, Consumption and Nature.
Here are some examples of how you can easily get involved and points you can earn for activities.
- Choose public transport instead of taking your car (worth 100 points) – buses and light rail networks release fewer carbon emissions - consider travelling via the tram network which runs through Broxtowe from Toton Lane. You can view the tram timetable (opens in new window).
- Make sure you know what to recycle (worth 100 points) – putting incorrect items in your green-lidded bin can contaminate the rest of the waste and make it unrecyclable. Find out exactly what you can recycle.
- Shop locally (200 points) – locally sourced products are more carbon-friendly.
- Visit green spaces across Broxtowe (100 points) – get out and about by finding your local Broxtowe parks and open spaces.
