As of July 23, 2018) the 100% Green Power Users List Represents the Partners That Are Using Green Power to Meet 100 Percent of Their U.S 100% Green Power Users (as of July 23, 2018) The 100% Green Power Users list represents the Partners that are using green power to meet 100 percent of their U.S. organization-wide electricity use. The combined green power use of these 996 organizations amounts to nearly 24 billion kilowatt-hours of green power annually, which is equivalent to the electricity use of nearly 2.2 million average American households each year.

Please cite only the published version using the reference above. Full terms of use are available: http://www.bristol.ac.uk/red/research-policy/pure/user-guides/ebr-terms/ Resources, scenarios, agency: environmental computer games Abstract In this paper I argue that computer games have the potential to offer spaces for ecological reflection, critique, and engagement. However, in many computer games, elements of the games’ procedural rhetoric limit this potential. In his account of American foundation narratives, environmental historian David Nye notes that the ‘second-creation’ narratives that he identifies “retain widespread attention [...] children play computer games such as Sim City, which invite them to create new communities from scratch in an empty virtual landscape…a malleable, empty space implicitly organized by a grid” (Nye, 2003). I begin by showing how grid-based resource management games encode a set of narratives in which nature is the location of resources to be extracted and used. I then examine the climate change game Fate of the World (2011), drawing it into comparison with game-like online policy tools such as the UK Department for Energy and Climate Change’s 2050 Calculator, and models such as the environmental scenario generation tool Foreseer.

  • Game Culture: Theory and Practice Instructor: Mr. Chris Vicari Fall 2018
    Game Culture: Theory and Practice Instructor: Mr. Chris Vicari Fall 2018 // Lowenstein 304 Email: [email protected] ​ Office Location: Martino 709 Office Hours: By appointment COURSE DESCRIPTION Games are everywhere and over 155 million Americans play them regularly on tabletops and electronic devices across the county. Their prevalence has promoted the medium as a space for expression, art, and meaning-making. Moving beyond the notion of simple entertainment, games are creating provocative experiences to promote change or understanding. This course emphasizes exploration and critical thinking as we discover how games are designed to address issues such as social justice, gender representation, behavioral change, and education. Through analyzing game artifacts and engaging in creative exercises, students will be able to think critically about games and how they are designed. Students will then apply this literacy into their own game projects. This course is open to anyone who is interested in games and their possibilities. LEARNING OBJECTIVES. By participating and completing in this course, students will: 1. Gain familiarity of games and their potential beyond entertainment 2. Know and employ the terminology of games and design 3. Recognize the approaches, strategies, and tools needed to produce interactive experiences. 4. Be able to work as part of a design team. 5. Be more creative, expressive, and analytical about all aspects of game culture. 6. Create game projects via hands-on methods and digital creation tools. COURSE OBJECTIVES 1. Explain and understand the basic concepts and theory in digital media. 2. Explain how media technologies impact today’s digital culture 3. Identify innovations that continue to change how games address complex issues.
