Greenomics The Game – Origins and a Request from our President
Greenomics The Game started as an educational tool to augment the Greenomics Corporation workshops on Sustainability. After repeated play it evolved into an entertaining board game. Based on player responses we decided to put the game into production so others could enjoy it at home and to enable educators to use it to make their courses and programs about sustainability more engaging.
We formed a virtual team to design and build the game. This included our own sustainability consultants, graphic artists, printers, and researchers. We had fun, learned a lot, and achieved most of our goals. To make the game we had to live by our own principles of sustainability. We had to walk the talk.
Our principles
- Use renewable resources
- Use non-toxic and biodegradable materials
- Enhance the Environment
- Promote positive human conditions
Where we succeeded
- We designed the box and game board so they would not require glue
- We used post consumer recycled FSC certified paper
- We used less material than manufacturers suggested to us through innovative design
- We eliminated the use of shrink wrap
- We used water and Soya based coatings and inks
- We produced the game locally
- We hired people from the Canadian Mental Health Association's Pathway's Program, which strives to get people with mental health issues back into the workforce, to assemble components of the game
Where we need alternatives
- The dice are plastic and are not locally sourced
- Upgrade rings are silicon, bought from a local distributor but manufactured outside of the country
- Industry markers, though made from recycled wood fill material, were sourced from non local, U.S.A. based game parts suppliers
- We are using a plastic bag to hold the loose pieces together in the game. So far, alternatives to this have been cost prohibitive in view of the price point that consumers would most likely be willing to pay.
We believe you can help. Please send us your ideas for alternatives – preference given to those sources closest to our home in Vancouver, Canada
Sincerely,
Erich Schwartz, President
