Podcasts about green games

Have you ever considered how gaming and game companies contribute to environmental problems like global climate change?  We haven't!  At least not until we spoke and were inspired by our guest Paula Escuadra to think about the many ways that game companies and design can help bring about a greener world!

BONUS EPISODE: In this quick-fire episode, Hugo digests the adventure that was last week's Green Games Summit by UKIE and Playing for the Planet, alongside fellow summitgoers and IGDA Climate SIG members Mélanie Christin and Trevin York.

Local youth climate leaders are gearing up for the Green Games. It's an initiative where they'll challenge their peers across the Rochester/Finger Lakes region to take action when it comes to combating climate change. They join us to talk about Meatless Mondays, fossil fuel divestment, an art challenge and more. Our guests: Bridget Mousaw, junior at Brighton High School, leader of the Brighton High School Climate Club, and Rochester field organizer for the New York Youth Climate Leaders Poppy Burack, 8th grader at School of the Arts, who is trying to bring back SOTA's Climate Club Lola DeAscentiis, senior at Mercy High School, member of the New York Youth Climate Leaders, and participant in the ROC City Compost Pilot program Harrison Jurenko, senior at School of the Arts, and member of the Seneca Park Zoo Urban Ecologist program

This week's topics were wide ranging from Green Games to Concrete. Moss is a wonderful substance holding up to eight times its weight in water and storing carbon for centuries as peat. This system is being used to slow down the water that rains in the centre of the country and releasing it slower so that large towns on rivers are not so easily flooded. Philip and Paul then talked about the new green games appearing like Anno 2070 and the soon to be released Anno 1800 expansion which teaches the gamers the advantages of going green. Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants growing to be able to be used in 14 days to make items like cutlery. It can be used as paper replacement after growing for a few years. After 5 years it can be used to replace iron in reinforced concrete - having similar properties to the metal. Replacing plastic with bamboo can do similar to mpb.com who by replacing the bubble warp with paper can save up to  1200 football pitches worth of plastic.Lastly Philip and Paul talked about carbon dioxide in concrete. Much noise is being made by the press about low carbon concrete but it is just ordinary concrete made using slightly greener processes, Paul suggested infilling the bamboo with waste plastic.

On this week's episode, Andrew Neil is joined by Jill Rutter, senior research fellow at UK in a Changing Europe and a former civil servant; Sir Christopher Meyer, former UK ambassador to the United States; environmental campaigner Stanley Johnson; Professor Lawrence Gostin, director of the WHO's Center for National and Global Health Law; and a team of Spectator journalists.We discuss the Greensill scandal, Boris's plans to rebrand Britain, and how vaccine passports are being used in the US.

In Episode 3 Mark Beretta and his guests reveal how Sydney Olympic Park was once a contaminated wasteland full of opportunity, that was developed into a world-class environmentally sustainable suburb with a ‘she’ll be right mate’ attitude. Romily Madew, CEO of Infrastructure Australia and former Green Building Council of Australia CEO joins Sydney Olympic Park Executive Director Planning Sally Hamilton to discuss the world class transformation, and how Australia’s attitude to innovation created precedents that would change environmental benchmarks nationally and internationally. Built on a beautiful blank canvass on the banks of the Parramatta River, the development of Sydney Olympic Park challenged designers and architects to protect the environment, establish green buildings and create parklands that would become significant environmental sites. Sydney Olympic Park became Australia’s first example of a green star precinct, creating the foundation of the nationally-accepted green star rating system.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
