You can also earn points on the go straight from your mobile phone with the ARUgreen app! Click the buttons below to download for iOS or Android (it's free!);


2. Take part in activities


You can take part in a whole range of activities to earn Green Points for yourself and your team. We've grouped these activities into themes, all of which you can get involved in at any time.
