Did you know that the way staff and pupils get to school is one of the biggest ways that your school impacts the climate?  Over the past few decades, more and more children are travelling to school by car and, with 1 in 4 cars during the morning peak rush taking children to school, you can probably see the difference a school holiday makes to your town's traffic.

Energy Sparks schools are working hard to reduce their environmental impact by cutting energy consumption. Now we're encouraging you and your Eco Teams to tackle transportation head-on with our Count Your Commute Challenge.

Our child-friendly transport survey app will calculate the exact amount of commute carbon emissions.  The app, found on both adult and pupil dashboards, is a simple-to-use survey tool to log the commute details for pupils and staff. No more asking for hands and making tallies - you can easily survey the whole class in a few minutes. 

The survey gives each respondent their own carbon score for their journey and summarises the results for that day, as well as making a meaningful comparison to another carbon emitting activity.
