To help staff and students develop understanding of the impact of various items and lifestyle choices, we play a game called 'How Bad are Bananas?'. We take the game to University events including Welcome Week, Freshers Fair and departmental meetings to spark conversations and encourage sustainable behaviours.  

Players are asked to clarify their understanding of a carbon footprint, before deciding which cards have a 'higher' or 'lower' carbon footprint. 

Each round takes 5-10 minutes, and can be played by individuals or with groups of up to about eight. 

If you have an event or meeting you'd like us to come along to, please contact us. 

Join our team of staff and student volunteers and teach other students about carbon footprints by playing this fun and interactive game.

We'll teach you how to play the game and help you to organise sessions within your department. You'll learn tonnes(!) about carbon footprints, and have the opportunity to develop your interpersonal skills. Carbon literacy engagement volunteering also counts towards the BristolPLUS award.
