What these Pledgends are saying...

Eddie Edmonds

The overall experience of attaching an effort with a change in behaviour has engrained the new habits far more than I anticipated. There is something truly unique about the Pledge for the Planet process that instils a recognition that global change can be achieved on an individual level through our behaviour.

I haven’t bought a plastic milk carton in two years so to start has saved roughly 50 milk cartons going to landfill. The event is such a fun way to bring the various communities to compete, doing what we love doing in order to spread the message and change behaviour for the better.

I LOVE the Pledge for the Planet Mission! I honestly look forward to it every year. It’s a great month to get active and get outdoors. I think the competition for a good cause really brings people together which is always really positive for community building.

Alex Martin

I pledged to have at least one meat free day a week. We’ve also transitioned most lunches into meat free each day too, and that has just required a bit of forward planning! I loved taking part in the Pledge for the Planet Mission. The community spirit was brilliant, and with so many people, a predictable amount of healthy competition!

Why sport and climate action?

Because saving the planet is a team sport

Our individual actions have a huge collective impact.  You’ll see that with the individual activities you log over the weekend and the combined points and KMs your team collective accumulates by the end of the mission.   The same goes for your individual Pledges and their collective impact. And guess what, the planet REALLY needs our help. So get a sweat on and put some of that energy towards restoring our precious mother earth for generations to come.
