Waste Not: Making a Game out of Trash

Posted on the 05 March 2013 by 2ndgreenrevolution @2ndgreenrev

Crowdfunding has become a major pipeline for raising money. Potential investors can give to projects that they support before they launch and help make them a reality. While many of these perpetuate the cycle of consumption, Waste Not, an online game with an accompanying offline card version, is looking to raise money for development, production, and expansion of its materials. Many online games aim to introduce concepts of sustainability. Additionally, board games like “The Green Game” allow for offline playing.

With a goal to raise $25,000 by Thursday March 21st, you can help make this a reality. Check out the online version, which offers a limited introduction to the game, as well as via Social Media outlets. Backers of the project, which uses indiegogo to raise funds, at the $5 level can gain access to the full game.

Check it out and let us know what you think. If the project gets funded, we’ll be giving away 1 copy of the card game. Take a look at the video below and decide if it’s worth your support.
