What if we gamified climate change?
There’s a lot of problems in the world, and my partner and I often feel hopeless and powerless about it. I came up with an idea, based on motivation techniques I use to manage my ADHD symptoms: make a checklist of smaller goals.
I thought of maybe silly goals like “reduce your city’s carbon footprint by 1 CO2 tonne this month”, and I even found a study that measured emissions cities that could be used as a base (https://www.citycarbonfootprints.info/maps.html).
The thing is, I don’t know if people would bother getting into that. Or if it’s even wise to make different cities or countries compete. Also, there’s probably better goals out there than that. I dunno. I thought I should probably put the idea out there, in case someone else thought about it too.
Would it work?
