Going Forwards

Rather than dwelling on the negative, we keep balance by accentuating the positive. Algae technology is moving along as a means of transformation of carbon dioxide into living matter. Dr. Lenny posted a similar video from a biotech start-up Valcent six months ago. The Universal Sovereigns of a Living Earth Stewardship Plan includes growing algae in ponds all over then landscape, while storing water for fire suppression on arid summer forest lands.

Existence is a portal setting where topics of applied natural resource science can be built into a framework of a learning environment delivered as a applied role-playing game. Graphic interface programs are available to create avatars and measuring tools, but the story line for each game is a hero quest that deals with natural resource issues by taking virtual action with a small cast of characters. Characters increase luminosity within a node field by taking action that can be validated on a technical scale at a later point in time.

No telling where this will go. I'll be checking out some other net game forms to see what can be done. I want a unique sense for a game that rewards individual action in a consensus environment that thinks up outside the box solutions. Like growing algae for carbon capture. Another by-product of the process would be fertilizer. A third is clean water.
