About Us

Find out a bit more about how Enviropledge came about.

How It First Started

Enviropledge was launched to ask people to make small lifestyle changes to reduce their carbon footprint.

We worked with earth scientist, Dr Rachel Gavey to help us understand the carbon footprint of every day activities.

Together, we turned scientific jargon into every day language that laymen can understand in the hope by making this more clear more people would start to make small changes.

The idea is that if many people made small changes it could have a considerable impact on the environment.

Over 1900 pledges have been taken so far with over 70 tonnes of estimated CO2e improvements. We also planted over 2,000 trees in conjunction with JustOneTree, removing over 25 tonnes from the atmosphere every year & 646 tonnes over the next 25 years.

We also incorporated some of these activities into a quiz to see how well you know the impact of every day activities on the environment.
