According to Forbes, Gen Z is highly conscious of pollution. That is why, according to The Guardian, Gen Z is declining to drive a car.
But another set of statistics, from a Deloitte study, found that 27% of Gen Z teens report gaming as their favourite activity.
Without knowing it, the time they spend playing video games generates as much CO2 emissions as 17 million cars in the real world.
Greenpeace and VML have called on gamers, one of the biggest communities in the globe, to act together to neutralise gaming emissions.
Gamers only need to upload the streaming app, Play for the Future, a crossover of scientific data and gaming app for gamers. Once established on gamers’ dashboard, it tracks and offset their carbon footprint while they’re in real time gaming, turning every gaming vehicle into net-zero vehicle, and every gamer into a game-changer.
The app is designed to integrate with gaming aesthetics and systems. I calculates CO2 emissions based on processor power, screen type, and game mode, displays the CO2 produced and offers the option to offset it through a partnership with a carbon capture programme.
