A thoughtful approach
Doing something is not the same as proving an impact.
We help you record learning, action and evidence separately.

My journey
Keep track of what you try
A private record in this browser. Record activities honestly, including what did not work. Nothing here is independently verified.

Research and evidence
Measure what matters
An experimental self-reflection tool. It is not a validated psychological scale, a diagnostic test or an impact score.
My sustainability participation check-in
Choose how strongly you agree. You can skip this entirely. Responses remain on this device unless you export them.
Why separate the measures?
Understanding is not action
A learner may understand sustainability without having the time, money or opportunity to participate.
Participation is not proven impact
Completing an activity does not establish a measurable environmental or social outcome. Independent evidence is needed.
Research status: provisional items for demonstration only. Content validity, reliability, accessibility, measurement invariance and effectiveness have not been established.
Keep learning
Free learning, clear choices
External courses from established providers. Always check the course page for current availability, fees and certificate conditions.
Our purpose
Learning belongs to everyone
Sustainability did not begin in 2015. Communities have long developed knowledge about land, water and resources. The SDGs offer a contemporary framework for shared challenges.
Why this exists
To make sustainability learning practical, inclusive and relevant to students across post-secondary education — whatever their qualification, circumstances or previous knowledge.
Traditional practices deserve critical examination: some supported long-term livelihoods; others damaged environments. Learning means considering evidence, not romanticising the past.
Our principles
Accessible: short explanations, clear controls and different ways to participate.
Evidence-led: no invented achievements or unsupported impact claims.
Respectful: local and Indigenous knowledge should be represented with care and appropriate acknowledgement.
The inspiration
A brief note on the origins of this project.
Dr Abbas Mohammed
The project's educational direction draws on Dr Mohammed's experience of teaching Education for Sustainable Development, establishing a sustainability club during the 2016/17 academic year, and completing a PhD at the University of Plymouth.
Biographical account supplied by Dr Mohammed; historical claims and ownership arrangements require appropriate documentation.
From learning to participation
His work and writing emphasise the importance of bringing people into sustainability conversations, rather than leaving the agenda to institutions alone.

Designed for fairer play
Questions focus on evidence, choices and the SDGs. Speed does not determine the score. Students may use a screen reader or take part without a leaderboard identity beyond their chosen display name.
Live rooms require the Cloudflare multiplayer service to be deployed. The local HTML demonstration cannot connect players across devices. Do not use real names or confidential information in display names.
Action laboratory · Interactive simulation
Your choices make a difference.
Explore a realistic challenge, weigh up the options and design an action you could actually try. No right answer is worth more than good reasoning.
Evidence matters
What would convince someone that an activity made a difference?
Build an evidence plan
Select the types of evidence you could reasonably collect. Avoid recording anyone's personal details.
