GUHD Engagement

Ecoearn

EcoEarn is a joint sustainability initiative with SWASFT and Dorset healthcare partners Dorset CCG, Dorset County Hospital, Dorset Healthcare University Trust, and University Hospitals Dorset.

EcoEarn encourages you to take positive sustainability and wellbeing actions to reduce carbon emissions. By working to reduce our environmental impact together, we will save lives and improve health, now and for future generations.

We are really pleased to announce that the EcoEarn platform is now live and can be accessed via the web or smartphone app.

EcoEarn features over 20 different carbon saving, health, and wellbeing actions – take steps like travelling sustainably to work, following a low carbon diet, and even get rewarded for logging your exercise! By taking part in these activities, you'll earn 'Green Points' for yourself and your team, competing to top our Trust leaderboard. As well as earning Green Points, you'll also be able to see how much carbon you have saved through your actions as an individual, across your team, and across the 5 participating NHS Trusts.

Each month the sustainable champions who have earned the most Green Points for their actions will win one of 5 x £20 vouchers, from a choice of local and national sustainable businesses. We'll also be awarding 6 x £10 vouchers in a raffle each month and all you need to do to enter is log a single action! Prizes are awarded based on the points earned within each calendar month – not overall – so that no matter when you join, you'll get the same chance to win.

Will you help us build a more sustainable Trust and reduce your environmental impact?

Sign up now at ecoearn.co.uk or download the app on iOS and Android – just search 'EcoEarn' on your phone's app store.

Other opportunities

Please join the GUHD Team Group where you can engage with other GUHD Champions around to share ideas and information and even do a bit of internal lobbying to get the help you need.

Have you made some sustainability progress you would like to share? Use the hashtag #GUHD @UHD_NHS on twitter. We love photos of sustainable commutes so don't be surprised if you get shared widely!
