Greener still
A quick post-scrip on the most recent KG Moments post…
Speaking of green…I played (or something that kind of resembles it) in this week’s Children’s Museum of Maine annual golf tournament at Dunegrass in Old Orchard Beach. KG Partners fielded a foursome. We didn’t win. However, I purchased raffle tickets for a chance to win some of the give-a-ways at the post-play barbeque. Turns out I won something! I won “Earthopoly”, a take on Monopoly that promotes sustainability and green habits (tagline: A Game Celebrating EARTH, one turn at a time). It’s pretty cool. Players collect and trade carbon credits. Instead of jail, you could get sent to The Dump. A square on the board where Community Chest should be says “Reduce” instead. The game — board, pieces, box, shrink wrap…everything — is, you can probably guess, made from recycled materials. Hours of fun.
There are a lot of “opoly” games out there. Choose wisely. For example, I have a number of copies of Green Bay-opoly (needs no explanation). If anyone would like one, let me know (while they last!)
