Here is a link to a short video on how the climate champions competition works
During this competition aimed at community/voluntary groups, workplaces and schools in the Enniscorthy region, you are challenged to try out as many climate actions as you can while saving CO₂ with your team, having registered on the Ducky website.
- Have fun while learning more about climate action.
- Get insights on your personal climate impact.
- The team that saves the most CO₂ wins!
Who can enter? (This competition is only open to the following categories located within the Enniscorthy region)
- Community/voluntary groups
- Workplaces
- Schools
Multiple teams from the same community/voluntary group, workplace or school can participate.
How does it work? (A demonstration for Team Leaders will take place online further to registration)
- Register as a Team Leader.
- Form a virtual team of 5+ members.
- Send each team member an access code to your team on the Ducky website.
- Each team member logs their climate action activities on the website.
- The website calculates each team’s total CO₂ saving over a two week period.
- A scoreboard displaying each team’s results will display on the Ducky website so you can see how well your team is doing or how much it needs to do to catch up on others.
Climate action challenges can include simple actions such as:
- taking a shorter shower (easy – too cold to be hanging around for long in this weather)
- eating more vegetables (easy – throw a few more veggies into that stew)
- jumping on a bike instead of taking the car (easy – well maybe not if it’s raining but hey! we’re not asking teams to be martyrs, just to try their best).
What is the competition’s aim?
To focus on reducing personal emissions through simple positive, behaviour changes. Always remember that small but meaningful lifestyle changes can add up to a lot.
Lastly, is it carrot or stick?
Absolutely carrot! To add to a team’s sense of pride from knowing it is doing its best for the planet, there will be a prize for the winners! (Note: we’d love to provide a round the world trip but sadly ☹ that goes against the competition’s aim).
