Idle Free Pledge

Parents pledge to turn off engines at school pickup and classes compete.

Nobody has claimed this yet. Be first.

The idea

A school shares a pledge link where families promise to switch off their car while waiting at pickup. Classes climb a friendly leaderboard as more families join. It is a cheap way for a green team to cut exhaust right where kids are standing.

PROMPT 1 OF 3

Build a web app called Idle Free Pledge. A school admin creates a campaign with school name, start and end dates and a list of classes. The public pledge page asks for family name, class and a checkbox pledge.

PROMPT 2 OF 3

Show a live leaderboard of pledges per class as a percentage of class size, which the admin enters. Add a weekly check-in link where families tap yes or no for "I did not idle this week" and show the running total.
