London Food Link. London Food Link. Game for Change: Fate of the World. New Computer Game Simulates Challenges of Global Warming A British company has developed a new computer game that allows players to save the planet from the effects of global warming — at least in a simulated setting.
“Fate of the World,” produced by the gaming company Red Redemption, places players at the head of a global environmental organization — a “UN with teeth” — charged with saving the world over the next 200 years in the face of rising temperatures, diminishing resources, disappearing ecosystems, and growing population. Using actual climate models and data from scientists at the University of Oxford, players can confront these challenges globally through a variety of policies — including cap-and-trade, promotion of renewable energy, and geoengineering schemes.

Author: James Murray-White - Updated: 28 November 2013| Comment Dealing with the huge amount of waste being thrown into landfill sites on a daily basis and exploring the growing need to find new solutions to the massive consumption of power and energy in the western world, are two areas scientists are examining right now.
With the first problem, coping with waste, educating the public to use less and recycle more is the first part of the solution, but that still leaves the problem of what to do with the waste we already have? And wouldn't it be worthwhile to try to tackle the second problem, the dwindling energy resources of coal, oil and gas, and the increased need for power and energy in the world, at the same time, by combining both issues and seeking one solution? Below are two potential solutions to this problem, in real time case studies. Thames21Thames21. London Green Map - London 21 Sustainability Network. 150 Examples of Sustainability.

As sustainability practices continue to mature, recent events and trends have set the stage for significant shifts in 2012.

Investors are turning up the heat as they recognize that sustainability is important to companies’ economic viability.

A real-life experiment in engineering green behavior unfolded recently in the nation's capital. Washington, D.C., imposed a five-cent tax on every disposable bag, paper or plastic, handed out at any retail outlet in the city that sells food, candy or liquor, effective Jan 1. But more important than the extra cost was something more subtle: No one got bags automatically anymore. Instead, shoppers had to ask for them—right in front of their fellow customers.
The result? Retail outlets that typically use 68 million disposable bags per quarter handed out 11 million bags in the first quarter of this year and fewer than 13 million bags in the second quarter, according to the district's Office of Tax and Revenue.
