ECOlunchboxes Fundraising Giveaway!

 

ECOlunchboxes has developed a concept for a fun eco game for kids to sort flying lunch trash into recycling, compost and trash bins. Working against the clock with colorful lunchtime waste zipping across the screen, children will be entertained by the playful game and educated at the same time.

"Kids and adults love to play, and most of us also love to learn, connecting them produces the optimal neurological and emotional pleasure needed to reinforce the right behaviors," explained gamification expert Gabe Zichermann, who called the ECOlunchboxes game a "cool concept."

Development of the game will cost $8,700, so ECOlunchboxes has launched a fund-raising campaign on Indiegogo.com, a website platform specializing in crowd funding. Donors are rewarded with prizes and recognition.

"We welcome any kind of help we can get - whether it's $5 or $500 or $5,000," Sandra said. "I'm really hoping that others will see the value of developing this eco app and help us make the game available to all for free."

Did you know that a typical American family creates about 4,320 pieces of trash and spends about $400 extra on disposable lunchware each year, according to the Lunchbox Waste Study by ECOlunchboxes.
