New Forest Garden Launches
After twelve months of collaborating with our community members to find out what they need to help them on their journey of sustainable and social impact, Play It Green has now revamped the exclusive platform for members, with a brand new look and a lot more functionality.
The platform aims to make impact sharing, education and net zero and marketing support simple, easy to access; and more importantly easy to understand and implement.
Below is the first part of an overview of the new platform listing the main features.
For more information, please use the ‘contact us’ form or send an email to support@playitgreen.com.
A Brand New Look
Functionality Overview
Discover a Host of Support
Discover is broken down into three subsections:
Campaigns and Challenges – Explore and join a list of tree planting campaigns and sustainability challenges being run by our community members
Green Tips – View tips for business, home, educational content, sports tips and all our latest articles in this easy-to-access and understandable content to help our members on their journey to Net Zero
Useful Materials – All our support for running campaigns, moving to net zero and marketing your sustainability credentials and work with Play It Green
Track Impact & Plant More Trees
My Impact – Shows members’ tree planting and CO2 impact, milestones and Good Cause support. It is also available as an iFrame grab for your website and media
Sources of Impact – Sources of impact are split into subscriptions, campaign supporters, Purchases and gifts/referrals and shown as a chart.
The chart can be seen as trees planted or CO2 rebalanced.
Three ‘equivalent to’ fact boxes are updated as impact increases.
Plant More Trees – This button can be used by anyone that members share their garden link with, to plant more trees.
Campaigns and Leaderboards
Campaigns – From the campaign tab members can set up, run and share their campaigns and challenges to plant trees and create behaviour change – think Just Giving but for the planet!
Members can also join and support other campaigns
Leader boards – To create a bit of gamification and competition in the leader boards section members can see the most successful impact makers.
The section is split into individual & Family and Business impact makers and can be viewed as trees planted or CO2 rebalanced
Milestone Badges
Milestones – every member deserves to be rewarded for their achievements and we provide milestone badges that grow as our members’ impact increases – members can share their milestones to encourage others
Supported Good Causes – see the impact of Step 3 of our 3-step solution to climate change – #regive. Members choose and can change their good cause and 10% of all revenue generated is then regiven to that cause.
Sharing Tools
Sharing good news is important and members’ forest gardens provide all the tools to share their garden and their impact and to encourage others to join. We even provide an iFrame tool to embed their impact tab on their website.
Manage Your Entire Account
Subscriptions – is where our members can manage their subscriptions, add new licences and also cancel should they wish to
Order History – shows all monthly payments and invoices which are available to download
Settings – allows members to alter their users, payments, giving partners, garden images, name and URL. There is also access to the Payment API here.
Multiple Forest Gardens Within One Account
Every new member gets a “Master” Forest Garden, then for each £5 subscription users can set up an additional Forest Garden that feeds into their Master.
For example, a business that takes a £50 a month subscription covering their 10 staff would have a Master Forest Garden and then be able to set up 10 Forest Gardens for each of their staff members.
Our Thoughts
The new Forest Garden platform has been developed with our members’ needs in mind.
Making culture change and the Net Zero journey as simple as possible has always been one of Play It Green’s aims and the platform does just that.
Being able to communicate positive action to others is also a key part of creating change and these tools are now there for our members to use.
