#CarbonSpark — A movement built around the idea that one small spark can ignite a chain reaction of kindness.

How it works

  • 1. Do something kind.

    • Big or small—your spark matters!

  • 2. Pass it on

    • Give someone a Carbon Spark card and encourage them to continue the chain.

  • 3. Share the spark.

    • Tag @carbonpsychology and use #CarbonSpark on Instagram to show how kindness moves through the community.

  • Kindness boosts happiness up to 40%

  • Kindness is contagious and heals the heart

  • One spark promotes connection and well-being

Kindness connects us.

Every small act—whether it’s a smile, a coffee, or a helping hand—has the power to strengthen our community and spark something bigger. When we engage with others through generosity and compassion, we create a shared sense of purpose, belonging, and trust.

But it’s not just about feeling good—it’s backed by science.
Research shows that kindness:

  • Increases serotonin and dopamine, boosting mood and wellbeing

  • Activates the brain’s reward systems, creating a sense of connection

  • Lowers stress and lowers symptoms of anxiety and depression

  • Build social cohesion, empathy, and cooperation

Kindness helps us thrive—individually and together.
