No Time to Waste

Whether it’s reducing waste, cycling more, or trying plant-based meals, your resolution matters. Tracking your footprint and setting targeted goals helps create lasting habits while contributing to a better planet for everyone.

Download our sustainable rewards platform

No Time to Waste is our university’s environmental sustainability engagement app, where you can log your eco-friendly actions on campus to earn points and prizes! This January, the app is running a special New Year’s resolution’s campaign, where you can earn double points for setting and completing your sustainable resolutions!

How to Take Part

Click ‘Share’ and tell us your New Year’s resolution for 2026. Share a goal you’ll work towards that promotes sustainability, well-being, or protecting the planet. By sharing, you could inspire others!

Earn 200 points for your sustainable resolution. To make your pledge even more impactful, calculate your carbon footprint. This can help you understand your personal impact and highlight areas where small changes, like shopping second-hand, switching to an ethical bank, or turning off your devices, can make the biggest difference.

You can log up to three resolutions per month for this activity.
