Here are the group action projects that you can earn points from this term:

1. ⏰🌍 Switch Off Squad Mission: Activated!
   Calling all Cubs Club eco-heroes! It’s time to join the Switch Off Squad, where your superpower is simply flipping switches and saving energy! 💡⚡ In the world of climate change, every light left on and device plugged in adds to “energy overload,” increasing greenhouse gases and speeding up the Climate Countdown. 🐾💚 Do an energy audit to find wasted electricity and earn a massive 200 points, plus 25 points every time you display a “Save Electricity” sign like a true energy-saving champion. In the Western Cape, where climate impacts are already being felt, your actions matter—so switch off, power down, and show climate change who’s boss, one light switch at a time! 🌱✨🌍🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️

2. Climate Countdown Mission: Walk, Cycle or Lift!
   Ready to become a Climate Countdown champion? 💚 In the Western Cape, every step, pedal, and shared ride helps protect our mountains, oceans, and wildlife—so let’s turn everyday travel into something powerful! This mission is all about swapping wheels for feet, pedals, and teamwork: walk or cycle instead of being driven and earn 20 points each time 🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️✨, or level up as a carbon-cutting hero by carpooling and scoring a massive 100 points 🚗💨. Over two weeks, track your “before” and “after” journey and watch your habits transform into real climate action. So, travel green, rack up those points, and keep the Climate Countdown moving in the right direction! 💚⏳🌱🌊🌿

3. Climate Countdown Mission: Beach, River & Park Clean-Up Crew!
   Get ready, eco-heroes—it’s time to become a real-life Planet Protector Squad! 💚 Whether you’re at the beaches, rivers, or parks of the Western Cape, your mission is to hunt down litter, collect waste safely, and help restore nature to its beautiful best. Every bottle, wrapper, or scrap you pick up reduces pollution, protects wildlife, and helps fight the effects of climate change—because clean spaces mean a healthier planet! 🐾🌍 Completing this mission earns you a powerful 200 points, because this is true superhero work. So, grab your gloves, gather your team, and clean up the countdown—one piece of litter at a time! ⏳✨🌱🍌

4. Climate Countdown Mission: Food Waste Fighters!
   Calling all eco-heroes—it’s time to join the Food Waste Fighters, where leftovers become legends and banana peels get a second chance! 💚 In the world of climate change, food waste is a big deal because when it ends up in landfill, it creates greenhouse gases that speed up the Climate Countdown. 🕒✨ Do a food audit to become a kitchen detective and earn 100 points for spotting waste and making smarter choices. Go one step further and donate compostable materials to a compost heap to unlock an awesome 200 points and help turn scraps into super soil that grows new life in the Western Cape. 🌍🌿 Sort it, save it, compost it—and fight food waste like a true planet champion! 🐾♻️
