Do good and earn rewards with PIPs
Did you know you could earn gift cards and discounts when you recycle, or refill your water bottle? With the泭Positive Impacts Points (PIPs)泭program, faculty, staff and students are rewarded for actions that benefit the environment, personal well-being and our community.
How it works
PIPs are a currency of change泭earned for logging actions that support sustainability, health and wellness. Using the PIPs Rewards mobile app, here are a few ways staff and faculty can earn PIPs at CU:
- Refill your water bottle. Visit the泭Environmental Center泭in UMC 355 to get a PIPs sticker for your water bottle. Scan the code when you refill your water bottle to collect 20 PIPs, up to three times a day.
- Ride your bike. Visit one of the泭bike stations泭on campus to get a PIPs sticker for your bike. The sticker will have a QR code you can scan to get 50 PIPs per bike ride, up to three times a day.
- Recycle on campus. Scan the QR code on campus recycling bins when you recycle to earn 20 PIPs.
- Participate in contests and challenges. Complete these in the Challenges tab of the PIPs Rewards app.泭
Check the app and look for the PIPs logo for other chances to earn throughout campus! PIPs are awarded mostly through QR codes, Bluetooth beacons or added directly to your account for a few earning options.泭
