Do you know that neither Monopoly or SimCity consider ecosystem sustainability and global warming? The Landscape Game offers a more intelligent game that is fun, environmentally conscious and sensitive to government policy and market dynamics. The Landscape Game operates on a landscape, which is a mosaic of various land cover and land use patches that work as an ecosystem. Through this game, stakeholders can experiment with the likely impacts of human actions in a landscape where competing land uses and policy dynamics interact. This game introduces a variety of concepts such as landscape conservation, development, environmental services, investment alternatives, trade among players, competition and collaboration.

When most people talk about "growth" in our country, they consider it a completely positive and necessary thing, essential for maintaining the vitality and health of our economy and society.
Our society's most revered economic indicators are all based on this fundamental idea: that continuing growth is vital for the health and preservation of our economy and country. In fact, growth is pretty much the only thing they measure! However, natural scientists (such as biologists, chemists, and physicists) know that this assumption must be false. In order for growth to continue forever, we would need an infinite amount of space, energy, and other resources to keep the growth going... and those resources are not infinite. So what happens to steady growth in a limited space? Let's say that these bacteria have all the food they need. Classroom Earth. Born to Learn ~ You are Born to Learn. The fun way to learn anything.
