Mae Let’s Go Zero, yr ymgyrch genedlaethol ar gyfer ysgolion di-garbon gyda chefnogaeth Sefydliad OVO, yn helpu staff a myfyrwyr ysgol i greu prosiectau gwych, ysbrydoledig sy’n ysbrydoli gweithredu ar yr hinsawdd trwy gysylltiad â natur.
I gael cyfle i ennill, yn syml, mae'n rhaid i ysgolion ddweud wrth y Sefydliad y byddent yn defnyddio gwobr i ddod â'u myfyrwyr yn agosach at natur.
Bydd beirniaid y Sefydliad yn chwilio am syniadau creadigol ac atyniadol sydd â’r pŵer i ysbrydoli pobl ifanc a’r gymuned ysgol ehangach, ac maent yn awyddus i wobrwyo prosiectau sydd o fudd i grwpiau llai breintiedig, fel y rhai mewn ardaloedd nas gwasanaethir yn ddigonol.
Mae 25 o gyfleoedd i ennill: 10 gwobr o £1,000 a 15 gwobr o £200. Bydd yr ysgolion buddugol hefyd yn cael y cyfle i rannu hanes yr hyn y maent yn ei wneud, a'r effaith y mae'n ei greu.
Gallai prosiectau gynnwys pethau fel (sylwer nad yw hon yn rhestr gyfyngedig – mae rhyddid i ysgolion fod mor greadigol ag y dymunant):
o Cefnogi bywyd gwyllt ar dir yr ysgol.
o Plannu coed, a
o Tyfu llysiau
Rhaid i brosiectau gynnwys myfyrwyr 18 oed ac iau a rhaid iddynt hefyd ymgysylltu â chymuned ehangach yr ysgol (er enghraifft, rhieni, grwpiau cymunedol lleol neu ysgolion eraill).
