    The Planet League is a behaviour-tech platform using the power of sport to drive action on climate change. We bridge the gap between climate change and people taking personal action. Fans sign up to represent their club and score goals in fixtures against other clubs by completing green actions. We list a hundred activities around food, energy, water, transport, waste and nature. For a valid goal, the fan has to upload a photograph of the activity which we check with our \u201cVAR\u201d system.<\/p>\n

    We have proven people will take green actions for their clubs that they would otherwise not have considered doing. We\u2019ve recruited 73 clubs including 18 from the Premier League, reached over 5,000 households, approximately 18,000 fans, who have taken 77,000 verified \u201cgreen\u201d actions. This has resulted in reductions of about 360 tonnes of CO2.<\/p>\n

    We\u2019ve been featured on BBC\u2019s The One Show, Sky News, Sky Sports and ITV. Boris Johnson has visited one of our participating schools. This mainstream publicity helps to normalise green behaviours.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n
