EcoTeams is a long established and effective programme. It can help you to learn about the environment and how to easily change your everyday lifestyle for the better.

It has been independently certified, and endorsed by the United Nations Environment Programme. A household taking part typically:

•    improves energy and water management, reducing CO₂ emissions by 16.6%
•    reduces bills by £170 a year 
•    reduce waste by 20%, while increasing the proportion of rubbish that is recycled
•    reduces water used by 15%

And many people continue to keep improving even when they are no longer involved in a team.

Working as a team

Making changes is easier when we do it with friends and neighbours, rather than working alone. Your EcoTeam will be one of hundreds running in the UK. EcoTeams are great because they can be run in many different ways with people from all walks of life.

Together, you can make simple but tangible differences, which amount to significant savings.

It's worthwhile making even little changes because if lots of people make small changes it can add up to big changes. EcoTeams participant, Plymouth
