Green Games and Trillion Trees Game community tree planting platform for game developers_ gamers and publishers
                     The Green Games and Trillion Trees Initiative develops innovative 
concepts and projects for sustainable IT and game developments. The future 
community platform and social networks will connect game developers, 
publishers and gamers together for global sustainability, climate and 
environmental goals. This will motivate and support especially species, climate 
and environmental protection actions as well as organizations. The actions, 
initiatives and projects also promote more environmentally friendly behaviour.
The founder of Change Games and Greening Deserts launched the first 
developments for the Trillion Trees Game in 2020 in Leipzig. The game is not 
just a simple tree planting game, AAA game or larger indie game development.
It will be an online game and a platform with many games. People will be able 
to play mini-games and indie games directly in the game, and they can start 
other games outside directly through the game. If the games are played in the 
Trillion Trees Game or special actions and events are started in external 
connected games, real trees will be planted in the real world. It depends on 
how much and how long you play, extra tree points can be collected. Later, 
special tasks, actions, events, achievements and challenges will support special
reforestation or forestation projects and conservation actions. Other tree 
planting, renewable energy projects, recycling actions and important 
environmental projects, organizations or even movements can then also be 
supported with appropriate support from the Green Games and Trillion Trees 
Game Community. Sponsors, grants, and innovative funding models from 
around the world can accelerate and improve the projects. So the platform and
network can bring together not only the game industry and industry, but also 
some other important industries as well as climate, nature and environmental 
organizations. The media, culture, IT and global technology industries can 
benefit as well, especially industries like cleantech, greentech and green IT. 
Many additional jobs could be created. 
The game will be realized with highest performance and quality standards such
as modular game design, API connectivity, cross applications, green coding, 
energy efficient cloud streaming for many popular devices in the future. 
Accessibility, usability and different uses on the platform are considered and 
optimized over time like other services - such as energy efficient streaming or 
scaling for diverse devices like smartphones and tablets. More innovative 
details can be found in the game design papers and concept of Trillion Trees 
Game development. Experienced game developers are invited to integrate 
suitable developments. Meant are not only whole games, but also elements or 
parts like art, graphics, audio or music and sounds.
Games change games. Game developers, publishers and gamers can be
real game changers in relation to environment, innovation and 
ecological gaming. 
Game developers, publishers, game consumers or gamers and all branches 
have to do with game industry should overthink their real impacts on climate 
and environment. It is not just about energy efficiency, preventing or saving 
CO2 like many organizations or even institutions want to suggest. It's about all
the factors in relation, starting with first game developments and using 
resources and services. The impacts of video games on environment and 
climate change rise up by cloud gaming, game and video streaming plus all the
media produced for platforms like Twitch or Youtube. Some games, esport 
gamers, streamers and let's players wasting much resources and energy 
without really knowing their impact. Think about all the productions, supply 
chains, resources, main and side events, advertising, marketing, promotion, 
media streaming, etc... what the most people see is just the tip of the iceberg. 
That's why Change Games started in 2017 the Green Games community which 
is now a global movement. 
It would be good if more media, Global Game Jams and other game events 
would take more care of the important issues and points, for example on the 
topic of energy efficiency, recycling and the environment. The founder visited 
many events like Gamescom and Games Week in Berlin, also to educate and 
inform the industry - especially in the field of eSports and online gaming. 
Unfortunately, when it came to the point of environment and responsibility, 
there was often a lot of disinterest, misunderstanding or ignorance - who likes 
to admit mistakes. Mostly only the old typical arguments and problems came, 
which they try to cope with. It's sad that nothing or so little has changed for 
the better over the years, things have even gotten worse, for example in terms
of energy consumption. The game industry doesn't have much time left to 
change course. Green Games consultants and game experts can help! Just ask,
let's support each other and use our work, services and projects directly or 
indirectly, like recommendations for other good services and solutions we have 
found over the years.
The game branch made a lot of extra money during the crisis, the energy and 
video game consumption was higher than ever before. Now it is time that the 
game branch or industry takes responsibility and starts finanlly to challenge 
the most serious problems like the energy consumption, reducing 
overproduction, improving the supply chains and work conditions by more 
sustainable production and working. The maybe most important issues in 2021
are carbon footprint of industries like fossil, media, tech, IT and game industry.
Game developers, gamers and publishers should understand the impacts of 
console, computer and video games on environment, climate change and 
global warming! Just a few examples for the energy consumption and 
inequalities. Online gaming in California consumes more energy than the entire
population of Ghana or Ethiopia in Africa. Bitcoin mining more than Bangladesh
or Nigeria. It's not just about energy waste, ewaste or carbon footprint. 2021 
e-waste is surging at 57.4 million tons with just 17.4% was recycled as per 
2019 figures. E-waste impacts climate, environment, health and global 
warming. E-waste recycling emits emerging synthetic antioxidants. Recycling 
ewaste requires energy, resources, tech and IT again! 
The video game industry is partwise responsible for generating mountains of 
toxic e-waste and plastics that leach hazardous chemicals into the ground and 
waters. 91% of worldwide plastics wasn't recycled, billions of tons of plastic 
have been made and much of it has becoming trash, litter and microplastics. 
More than 99% of plastics are produced from chemicals derived from oil, 
natural gas and coal - which are dirty and non-renewable resources. Only 9% 
of all plastic waste has been recycled. A main problem is the use of too much 
plastics and plastic packaging. It is similar with other electronic equipment, 
gamer gear, high-end gaming PCs, notebooks and countless smartphones. So 
much models and overproduction of hardware over the half of humanity never 
can use or will be e-waste after short use. Too less people use their stuff over 
many years, repair or reuse it by upcycling. More game-related businesses 
should see these facts, chances and opportunities – not just the recycling.
To be more aware and to care more about we reported about these topics with 
the Green Games community. We want to integrate special cleantech and 
recycling programs on the Trillion Trees Game platform in future, for example 
renewable energy generation by solar and wind power. For example, you can 
then support local communities in your own region or other regions - such as 
reducing overconsumption or overproduction and improving renewable energy, 
recycling, repair and upcycling. This is particularly beneficial to poor countries 
such as in Africa, Asia or South America. Read more about climate change and 
environmental impacts of e-waste and video games on our social pages. We 
want build a special team for all major networks and platforms in the future. 
When we finally get proper support after many years, we can set this up in 
2022, that is when active and financial support for the projects will be offered 
or proposed. Because to date, sustainability and environmental protection are 
not really promoted in the games industry.  
The video game industry is bigger than the sports and movie industry 
combined! If there are no real regulations to reduce the bad impacts on 
climate, humanity will fail to stop the climate crisis. Green Games and Green IT
could change that! Read more about on the social networks like Twitter. We will
build a special team in future just for all the networks and platforms.
We invite all people with courage to join and support our ongoing project 
developments. Individual game developers and game studios are welcome to 
participate in a joint venture, for example with an extra team. In future spaces
at the Urban Greening Camp there will be a lot of space, a lot of interesting 
work and of course a lot of fun. At the moment you can do a lot online and of 
course in your home office. With the right financial support, it would be no 
problem to quickly build appropriate teams, create the necessary equipment 
and infrastructure, and outsource tasks or services, such as those that are too 
complicated to do on-site or better done externally. The founder has years of 
experience as a clan and guild founder as well as project developer and event 
manager. He has assembled and led teams with over a hundred members! This
was of course a lot of work and took good time, with financial support this is of
course even better and faster.
Some information about actual developments and backgrounds
Change Games Entertainment launched the Greening Deserts and Trillion Trees
Initiative with many innovative projects to improve conservation, 
environmental education, climate and environmental protection, species 
rescue, and species protection by building, expanding, and supporting biotope 
networks, wildlife reserves, national parks, and other nature-based habitats. 
Flower strips, wild meadows, parks, and groves in urban areas can be created 
through more urban greening and community gardening. It's not just about 
planting trees in forests. Urban trees and urban forests are just as important a 
part of the greening process. Species diversity (biodiversity), species rescue 
and biodiversity play a particularly important role.
People should understand the true value of a single tree, especially in cities. In 
August the founder published a world innovation for urban greening with 
energy storage raised beds, the project development is called Energy Storage
Tree. The Urban Greening Camp project started also Greening MENA,  
RooftopGreening.com and the Urban Greening Network for healthier and 
greener cities, many followed the good example. With the first Urban Greening 
Camp and vertical farming startup in Leipzig we will not just cultivate trees and
save tree species by professional seed storage and plant breeding. We will 
develop also awesome applications, products, services and technologies – 
especially cleantech, greentech, energy efficient, resource saving and greening
solutions. Better light setups and water managment, sustainable irrigation, 
development of new innovative fertilization, natural and smooth pesticides are 
another aspects. Read more on the project pages in future.
The mentioned and connected projects show how broadly Greening Deserts is 
positioned and which topics also play into the latest developments, especially 
into the current game development of the Trillion Trees Game platform. 
GreenGames.club, Play2Plant.org and TreeGame.org will support the 
future developments. There will be Green Games Forests in Africa and Europe, 
especially in regions that need more biodiversity and tree species that can 
contribute to better climate change adaptation.  If you want to be a game 
changer and a part of the movement or just want to show support, contact us 
and support the Green Games community with useful contributions. Don't 
hesitate contact and connect.trilliontreesgame.com.
Some inspirational thinking and writing:
Climate protection, nature conservation and environmental protection is also 
species protection. 
Electronic and energy waste: environmental impacts, toxics and pollution by 
media, IT and video games industry are serious treats to life on planet Earth. 
Reduce climate impact with sustainable supply chains, cleantech, greentech 
and Green IT! 
Greening Camps can reduce deforestation, land degradation, desertification 
and global warming through global greening, conservation as well as 
biodiversity enhancement, ecosystem restoration and ecological reforestation!
Some of the biggest world problems and challenges are to reduce the big 
waste of energy, money and resources, especially at mega events like COP26, 
E3 or Gamescom. The Green Games Community and upcoming green video 
game industry could change that! 
We need more environmental awareness and sustainability, sustainable living 
and sustainable working, in all fields or areas. We need to create a world of 
understanding, acceptance, respect, tolerance, compassion and consciousness.

Computer and video games represent one of the most important new media 
developments of this generation. Unlike many other forms of entertainment 
they offer players the opportunity to explore, be creative, learn through 
interaction and express themselves to others. It is vitally important that we 
protect and nurture this new art form so that it can reach its full potential. Like
most new forms of artistic expression that have come before (music, novels, 
movies), the primary critics of video games are the people that do not play 
them. - Will Wright
Today, your cell phone has more computer power than all of NASA back in 
1969, when it placed two astronauts on the moon. Video games, which 
consume enormous amounts of computer power to simulate 3-D situations, 
use more computer power than mainframe computers of the previous decade. 
The Sony PlayStation of today, which costs $300, has the power of a military 
supercomputer of 1997, which cost millions of dollars. - Michio Kaku 
What if we started to live our real lives like gamers, lead our real businesses 
and communities like game designers, and think about solving real-world 
problems like computer and video game theorists? - Jane McGonigal
