Following a meeting of the “Committee Formerly Known as Greenlogic” – a team at Engauge Digital devoted to creating an environmentally conscience workplace – I was searching the web for ways we could make our office more green and came across Starbuck’s Planet Green Game. It’s actually really nifty and clever.

In the game, you select a character and mode of transportation, and then travel around town completing tasks/activities to earn points. There are bonuses you can find, including passes to a movie theater where you can view different films. Throughout the game you learn energy-saving tips, facts about global warming, ways you can take action in your community, etc.

Starbuck’s aim was “to educate the public about climate change through engaging and informative game play while encouraging individuals to become part of the solution in their own lives.” I would say they have succeeded – the Planet Green Game is not only a wealth of information, it’s actually pretty fun.
