Showing how green tech increases energy security, prevents environmental disasters, and decreases harm to local communities can help players understand why this innovation matters.

DESCRIPTION
Our technology will change rapidly as the transition to renewable energy, electric vehicles, and responsible farming accelerates. Game developers would do well to keep in mind which technologies now symbolize the old world and which belong in the new and find opportunities to portray new ways of generating energy, farming land, and traveling while relegating the old to depictions of just that—the old world.

WHY IT MATTERS
We can help technologies stigmatized by post-Fordist capitalist bias break out of preconceptions and gain more respect and credibility.

DO & DON’TS
Not just climate.
Remember that you can press the co-benefits and not just climate restoration. Maybe in your game it makes more sense to simulate or talk about how burning fossil fuels kills millions through air pollution each year, the health benefits of cycling or eating vegetarian, or how electric vehicles and renewable energy are simply better, more efficient products than their fossil fuel counterparts.

Ways to support this goal include:
Fossil-Free Survival
Renewable Worldbuilding
Building the Sustainable City
Knowing is Half the Battle
