Showcasing Ready, Set, Go Green at Impact Earth's First Friday Event

I recently had the opportunity to be a special guest at a First Friday event hosted by Impact Earth, where I demonstrated Ready, Set, Go Green alongside some local artists. It was an exciting experience to share my game and story with new people!

Beyond showcasing my game, I enjoyed exploring the art and connecting with people passionate about creativity. Seeing the intersection of art and sustainability in one space was inspiring, and I left with new ideas for expanding the game’s reach.

Thanks to Impact Earth for hosting such a great event—I’m looking forward to more opportunities like this in the future!

Back to my Roots: How I Reconnected with the Treehuggers

Returning to where it all began was both nostalgic and inspiring. Last spring, I had the opportunity to revisit the Treehuggers Club at my former elementary school—a place where I first developed a passion for environmentalism.

On my first visit, I presented the game to the students, and over the next few weeks, each student picked their own cards to work on. At my next visit just a few weeks later, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the club had packed over 100 waste-free lunches, and the feedback I received was even more encouraging. Some of their favorite cards included "Shop Smart," "Help the Birds," and "Wild Card." In addition to choosing their activities and racking up points, many of them talked about bonding with friends and family over the game. The group consensus was that the game helped them make a positive impact, and they would continue doing the actions they learned. Most rated the game a 9 or 10 "because it's fun and helpful."

I look forward to continuing to work with the club this year and seeing the progress they make!
