It's a video game in which you try to spend the day being as eco-friendly as possible.
For example, your dad sees a hornet's nest in the garage. Do you:
a) incourage him to kill the nest
b) beg him to leave the nest alone
c) enter your own idea
As you go through the game, you get presented with similar situations where you need to make eco-friendly decisions or contribute your input to other kids. You earn badges when you accomplish certain tasks in the most eco-friendly way.
You get 5 stars for each level. If you get 2 or less stars on a level you have to restart the level, if you get 3 or more you can move on, if you get 5 you get a bonus level.
Parents can also log what they've done to help the environment, e.g. read books instead of playing video games or turning off the computer for a day.
Granted, all of the above was dictated to me by a 9 year old. But the basic idea is interesting: create a virtual world in which kids and adults alike can practice addressing environmental issues and ultimately grow into more eco-responsible generation.
Oh yeah, thanks!
