Notes de l'éditeur
Our workplace has joined the GreenHouse Games and we need your help to win!
The GreenHouse Games is an initiative of Sustainability Victoria and is being delivered by environmental company LESS (Low Energy Supplies and Services).
Join the sustainability journey with Energy Man, Water Woman, Recycle Girl, Bike Boy and Thermo the Wonder Dog!
The points households earn are based on the environmental outcome, how easy it is to take the action and how commonly the action is taken. Therefore the biggest points are earned for actions which result in greater environmental benefits, are harder to take and/or are less commonly taken.
The mission is for every Superhero household to achieve an annual saving of one tonne of greenhouse gases.
I’ll talk more about the prizes in a minute.
The website is designed to be very straightforward to use and reporting should only take 10-15 minutes a week.
You don’t have to have 5 members, you can even have just 1! However, with 5 you have a greater chance to win the prize of the greatest points per team.Have fun and choose a team name!
Many of the actions are free, so you don’t need to spend any money to participate in the Games. For actions that involve a purchase you generally need to add in your receipt details into the website when reporting.
The GreenHouse Games doesn’t penalise you if you’re already actively taking sustainable actions at home. There’s a survey at the start of the Games where you can report of what actions you’re already taking.
Some prizes are based on the number of points you earn, others are based on reporting your actions and going into a draw to win the prizes.
The GreenHouse Games can be a one size fits all program, or can be tailored to fit in with the way we work, and how we like to do things at our workplace. (You can take the opportunity here to discuss how to run the Games with your colleagues).
Start getting your team together and start thinking of a team name!
