One of the goals of the project is involving citizens in science activities and promoting their active participation on the issues of climate change, sustainable development and environmental protection.
For this reason, CIMA Research Foundation developed an educational kit for schools “Zero Emission City” within teachers and students can learn about the carbon footprint and the best behaviours to adopt to decrease the carbon dioxide production, learning by playing a game.
Its aim is to try to ‘save‘ as many kilos of carbon dioxide as possible by carrying out actions in a city that would like to become zero emissions. Any action that is carried out leads to the production of carbon dioxide, but with various precautions it is possible to ensure that the repetition of these actions can provide to a lower production of pollution.
The more teams step on the box, the closer the action gets to the zero emissions goal.
To liven up the game, there are some boxes on the board, Heat Islands and Intense Breezes, which represent some dynamics not foreseen by the classic round of the board.
Whoever manages to offset more carbon dioxide than the other teams wins.
