About the Carbon Neutrality Competition
The Carbon Neutrality Competition is a platform that encourages individuals and organizations to reduce their carbon footprint and achieve carbon neutrality. By participating in the competition, we aim to foster a culture of sustainability and inspire collective efforts towards a greener future. The 30 best performing teams will be invited for further assessment, and they will need to share their green living tips on social media. This will help spread awareness about sustainable living practices and inspire others to take action towards a greener future.
