If you’re an avid Pawprint user then you’ll have noticed the recent return of ‘Pawpoints’. This is our digital currency which users are awarded each time they log a positive action in the app. With the mechanism properly back up and running, I’m on a mission to get people spending all of their points. Why? It helps us portion up our monthly donation, and man have we got some cool, new charities on our list this quarter.
Before launching into who they are and what they do, I’ll briefly cover how Pawpoints works:
- You log a positive action in the Pawprint app, and are awarded Pawpoints. The harder the action, the more pawpoints you’ll earn.
- Once the points are in your wallet, you’re free to spend them whenever and however you like. Just navigate to the profile tab, open your pawpoints wallet, choose the charity you’d like to donate to, and spend that dolla.
To keep things interesting, and ‘spread the good’, this next giving quarter we’re bringing in 3 different charities:
Who are they, and what do they do?
The Restart Project
The Restart Project is a people-powered social enterprise that believes every product should be repairable, and that repair and reuse should be accessible and affordable for everyone.
Right now, we live in a throwaway economy. It can be tough to find options for repair locally, and electronics can be needlessly hard to fix. As a result all of us are losing repair skills in our communities, throwing more away, and buying more new. It’s building a mountain of e-waste while using ever more of our planet’s limited resources.
Surfers Against Sewage
Through their insanely innovative and ambitious campaigning and education programmes, Surfers Against Sewage are building a community that cares deeply about the planet we live all on. That cares passionately about the ocean. And that knows the difference people power can really make.
The heritage of this organisation is anchored in the ocean. their reach and influence now permeates communities and institutions nationwide!
Forum for the Future
Forum for the Future is a leading international sustainability organisation running out of offices in the UK, US, India and Singapore.
They were founded in 1996, and have been working in partnership with business, governments and civil society to accelerate the shift towards a just and regenerative future in which both people and the planet thrive.
Climate change, mounting inequality, nature in crisis: the world is facing complex challenges that are intensifying every single day.
