Pick up one piece of litter today.
Go on, try it.
How it worksTwo minutes a day.
One colony.
No doomscrolling, no feed. One focused moment that gets you off your phone and into the real world.
Get today's mission
Every morning, every ant in the world gets the same mission. London, Lagos or Los Angeles, it's the same act.
Do it for real
2–5 minutes, out in the real world. Science-backed, genuinely doable, no guilt trip.
Swipe to complete
One satisfying swipe earns XP and Leaves, and keeps your streak alive.
See what the colony did
Each evening, the colony recap shows what you all carried together: CO₂ avoided, litter picked up, neighbours helped.
Three kinds of mission
Every act falls into one of three categories, so the colony looks after the planet and the people around it.
Leave one patch of garden, balcony pot or verge untidy for insects.
Swap one meal today for a fully plant-based option.
Lend, swap or fix something for a neighbour so nobody has to buy new.
Why ants?One ant can't move a log. A colony can.
Climate anxiety comes from feeling like one tiny ant against something huge. But ants never work alone. Every act is proof you can do something, and every evening recap shows what your colony moved together.
of young people are very or extremely worried about climate change. ActAnt is the antidote: action, not doom.Hickman et al., The Lancet Planetary Health, 2021 (10,000 people aged 16–25 across 10 countries).
Your colony, working as one. All in one day
Example recap with illustrative numbers. Assumes ~1.5 kg CO₂e saved per meat-free meal, ~10 g per piece of litter and ~7.6 kg CO₂e per new item avoided. Car and tree equivalents use US EPA figures (4.6 t CO₂ per car per year; 0.06 t CO₂ per tree over 10 years).
Ants have been doing collective action for over 100 million years.
Here's what they know.
ants live on Earth, around 2.5 million for every human. Each one is tiny. Together they outweigh all wild birds and mammals combined.
Small never means insignificant.When an ant finds food it lays a scent trail. Every ant that follows makes the trail stronger, so the best routes win.
That's how one habit becomes the colony's habit.When floods hit, fire ants link their legs and jaws into a waterproof raft and float until it's safe.
When it gets hard, the colony holds on together.The queen doesn't give orders. Each ant reacts to the ants around it, and the colony works out what to do.
Nobody's waiting for permission. Neither should we.Sources: Schultheiss et al., PNAS, 2022 (ant population and biomass); Mlot et al., PNAS, 2011 (fire ant rafts).

Schools & teamsYour colony vs. theirs.
Form groups against form groups. Departments against departments. Friendly competition is what makes the habit stick.
School leagues
Classes and year groups compete on streaks, XP and collective impact. Teachers get a dashboard; the winning colony gets bragging rights.
Workplace challenges
Teams compete on everyday sustainability, and colleagues motivate each other the way they already do at work.
Regional & national rankings
See how your school or city stacks up nationally, then internationally. Community pride built on real action.
Impact reports
Regular reports showing exactly what your colony achieved. Useful for ESG targets, eco-schools and sustainability pledges.
