Now that you've created your account you'll be able to earn Green Points for your actions. There are a whole range of activities for you to take part in under six My Greenspace themes: Biodiversity, Energy and Water, Waste, Travel, Health and Wellbeing and Get Involved.

Each activity has a full description of what you'll need to do to earn Green Points - some will require you to share a photo of your efforts, we've got plenty of quizzes for you to get stuck into, whilst others will invite you to report your actions on a weekly basis.

You'll automatically be opted in to our Report Your Recycling and Switch Off activities as these are actions we can all take. You'll see these in your weekly reminder as well as any additional activities that you opt-in to. There are plenty of activities for you to take part in through the platform and make sure to keep an eye out for new activities popping up!
