Creative industries have a key role in social impact! 🎨🎥🎲

"The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) is a US-based 501 non-profit international environmental advocacy group. Its Rewrite the Future project explores how climate-related content in movies and television shows can help move the needle on the climate crisis." 🌏

And it's not a leap to extend that impact to games too. That's what we're aiming for!

Keeping it yummy. 😋

Fantastic piece on switching in the shopping aisle to reduce our environmental impact by up to 96%. 🛒

The last thing we want to do is take the pleasure away from eating. But bite-sized changes add up to significant environmental benefits.
