In order to play the game, kids will be able to choose from Nicktoon characters, like SpongeBob or Timmy Turner and team up with other three kids in a face-off against CO2-spewing monsters. As the kids progress through the game (there are nine levels at the moment), they will get tips about how to lower their carbon footprint and at the end of the game their individual commitments and the impact of their collective pledges will be measured – and most certainly kids playing this game will care about the environment more than we did until things started to get worse.
Even more, it’s worth noting that the game offered by Nickelodeon is a free to play one and the company plans to provide kids with local resources and events to translate their virtually volunteered hours into real-world action, starting January 2009. Awesome, right? So visit the official website and see for yourself what this is all about!
