tlc2003, New Website Boasts - 'Play Our Green Game and Plant Trees for Free'

Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) April 25, 2008 -- Jogo Green started with a common infatuation, a dream to save the environment. While many sites goals are aimed to raise awareness of different environmental issues, nothing was available to make a tangible difference, at least at no cost to the consumer. It was this very notion, a free platform for consumers to save the environment, that birthed JogoGreen.com

JogoGreen.com has created an internet game, that not only provides great information on how to be green, it takes it one crucial step further, and take people's thoughts and put them into action to save the environment! It is a game that touts, "The more you play, the more you plant!" So at no cost, other than time, consumers can visit the site, play the game, and help save the world.

Here's how it works: For every 10 questions that are answered correctly on the site, Jogo Green will plant 1 tree. The trees are paid for by the advertisers on the site. Planting a single tree can take 50 pounds of carbon out of the air every year. That doesn't seem like much, but if the average world citizen planted a single tree every 2 months, they would be carbon neutral over their entire life. Jogo Green makes it fun and easy to plant at least a tree every day. Imagine the possibilities.

Recent consumer studies have shown a significant increase in both individuals and businesses wanting to help protect/ save our world. Large corporations are looking for ways that they can help. Starbucks now offers Ethos water. Timberland shoes are labeling the amount of carbon emitted during the construction of their different shoes. Hallmark now has project Red, and the list continues.

By creating a green website that allows consumers to make a difference in the world, the company is confident that Jogo Green will serve as the platform for consumer advocacy and change.

"The goal is to plant 1 million trees in a six month time frame. This is enough trees to take 3 billion liters of carbon our of the air every year".-(Rob Balian, President of Jogo Green and Stanford Freshman) By working in partnership with Trees for the Future (to date they have planted 50 million trees) Jogo Green believes that it will make a considerable impact on the earth's carbon footprint over a short period of time.

What if by planting trees around the world, climate changes could be reversed and global warming could be reduced? What if endangered species could be repopulated, economies grown, forests replanted and food provided for starving people?

Jogo Green believes it can and it will.
