Tackling travel impacts & funding community-benefit renewable energy with onboard:earth

We know that the carbon emissions created by travel to events are often the greatest environmental impact, as they contribute to climate change and air pollution. We partner with Onboard:earth to find ways to reduce travel impacts and to balance unavoidable carbon emissions.

Our donations from last year have been invested to support the brilliant Solar for Schools project. They help UK schools to install solar panels, allowing them to produce low-cost clean electricity, and run education programmes to teach children about the importance of a low-carbon future and inspire positive behaviour change.

‍Solar for School's key impacts to date are:

• 295 solar powered schools across the country.
• 180,000 students reached with solar, energy and green careers education since 2016.
• 13,594.64 tCO² saved across all schools since 2016.
• £2.5m saved by schools in the last 5 years
• 30% reduction in energy consumption: all participating schools report dramatic behaviour change around energy use.

A huge thank you to everyone who chooses to travel in a low-carbon way and contributes to climate action through our partnership with onboard:earth.

Next year we are working with onboard:earth to help them reach their goal of raising £1 million for people and the planet. Find out more at www.onboard.earth.
