It is designed to help people make achievable choices to combat the climate and environmental emergency. Almost no one wants climate change, endangered wildlife or plastic pollution, but the reality is that it\u2019s a consequence of the lives that many of us lead in the world today.<\/p>\n<p>Giki believes that if everyone can build their own personal plan for what they can do to protect their world, then we can all play a crucial role to preserve the environment on which we all depend.<\/p>\n<h1>Giki Badges<\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><img data-attachment-id=\"10277\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/sustainability\/2020\/11\/11\/sustainability-spotlight-giki\/attachment\/006\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/sustainability\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/11\/006.jpg?fit=451%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"451,300\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"006\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/sustainability\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/11\/006.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/sustainability\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/11\/006.jpg?fit=451%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10277 alignleft\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/11\/006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"451\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/sustainability\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/11\/006.jpg?w=451&amp;ssl=1 451w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/sustainability\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/11\/006.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/sustainability\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/11\/006.jpg?resize=272%2C182&amp;ssl=1 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 451px) 100vw, 451px\" \/>When it comes to sustainability, we have a lot of power as consumers to vote with our money.

I loved how I could choose steps that were achievable to me, and how they showed the impact of that step as well as the area of the environment it would help.
