Current environmental education takes place mostly only within schools or NGOs.
How can we introduce the topics of biodiversity and climate change to the masses in a casual and fun manner?

EduEarth aims to gamify the environmental education experience by creating attractive and localised card games for youths aged 13-21.
The team will design and create card games using sustainable materials and manufacturing methods to promote sustainable practices among the users. Through effective collaboration with schools, online platforms and like-minded organisations, they hope to convey the message of the negative environmental issues through fun games.

Games sound fun and gamifying learning could make the experience a more fruitful one. Instead of just physical cards, could consider having a digital version of the game too which could be more accessible and scalable and would reduce materials needed to print/store/transport/sell cards (and other environmental effects as part of supply chain).
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
The game can increase our knowledge on environment and allow us to take practical actions to protect the environment.
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
why don\'t you do a online card game instead? might be more eco-friendly rather than printing the cards out. you can also consider working with necessary government agencies and have ur card game permanently on the website and update the games accordingly based on the theme of the agencies
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
Keep the product close to market rates if possible, while some customers may be willing to pay a premium undeniably many would not be attracted if the game is much more expensive than other games in the market. Cards has to have an interesting theme as people usually buy card games to experience the fun in it and not necessarily to educate, else you may consider pitching your product to primary/secondary schools as they also educate their students on environmental issues.
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
Justify as to why there\'s a premium. These days \"sustainable\" is a marketing term to overcharge consumers.
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
It definitely seems like a fun way to tackle the problem at hand ! But I think it would be more impactful if you guys provide this cards in eco-friendly materials. It will kinda bring the message across with weightage. For prototypes you guys can start with school students. I think it’s more important for these cards to really fun !
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
The most important thing is the game play. How fun and engaging the game would be is more important than materials and other stuff. So, build your prototypes and keep testing until you get the right one. You can always deal with the materials of your game at a later stage.
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
I think the card games could be catered to a larger audience, possibly expanding to children and working adults as well.
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
a version targeted at children would be fun too! and put in schools as well
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
I think this is a really good idea! I would suggest that your game should be available in many different versions, digitally (websites/app) which can be played offline preferably, in addition to possibly physical card game which is made of recycled paper/materials. More people are slowly leaning on to digital games since it is easily accessible. I think it would be helpful to have this game in different versions so that it is more versatile and can be played more easily. People can easily play with their friends if its on the phone and they are not carrying the cards with them, people can even play this game during camps in school for example. The digital game could be multiplayer (similar to among us possibly) where people can join the rooms to play together! - Singi Das, singi.das.7@gmail.com
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
Perhaps review how committed you are to a card game? I would think an app would be more well received these days
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
Team could consider whether producing a card game is the best way forward as that creates additional waste as well. Also, depending on the replayability of the game, it may not be played many times - also something for the team to consider.
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
Since your game is about reducing waste, would you consider making the game an app rather than something that needs to be manufactured, printed and distributed?
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
can convert to online card games
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
Use interesting graphics or more \"singlish\" terms if your target audience is singaporean.
