Buffalo Gets Green
Ok, so last Thursday I went to a monthly meeting called Buffalo Gets Green. There is something called the "Green Gold Initiative" that is trying to create jobs and make Buffalo more environmentally conscious. You can read about their strategy here: Green Gold Strategy. I have no idea how long this has been going on, but I really hope it starts coming to life.
I think I'm going to try and contact the people to see if I can do a game to promote/support the project for my thesis project. I can't tell if they would be excited about it or think it is a waste of time. I think game would be a great way to get high school and college students involved and excited about this initiative.
I guess I'll find out...

Wikipedia also has tons of info on them...
I've been doing a tons of reading and research, and it seems that these games would be a great way to inform and involve people on a topic. People let their guard down and experiment with games. Sometimes a new, strong community is formed out of the participants because they all went through the same experience together. I think this could empower people.
