Your local Starbucks, in addition to being an expert at satisfying your caffeine needs, has branched out to become a leader for going green and creating sustainable changes in the world. Starbucks created the Planet Green Game in which you can explore the town of Evergreen while learning about how to conserve and protect your global resources.
You begin by choosing a character and mode of transportation which can potentially affect your overall score in the game. The goal is to visit all six key destinations, where you partake in green related mini-games and explore global solutions once you have finished the task. These global solutions show how different cities across the globe solve environmental challenges ranging from sustainable developments to climate control.
There are ten bonuses hidden throughout the city that you can find to unlock additional points and information. After you unlock every location and bonus, the game automatically ends and you can see how well you performed out of 10000 points.
It is a fun and interactive way to discover ways to help the environment!
Try it out and tell us what you think!
