The objective of this project is to create awareness on environment sustainability by applying green gamification technique to encourage behaviour change in reducing carbon emissions which is believed to be more fun and enjoyable. This research focuses on the college students in UiTM Perlis as an initiative to Green Campus concept. The research significance is to motivate people to change their behaviour in order to reduce carbon emission. Evaluation of the web application has been conducted using heuristic evaluation which consists of three elements: perceived, structural and perceptual elements.
