Hi Colleagues:
Recently I led The Wedges Game, developed a couple years ago by the
Carbon Mitigation Institute at Princeton, for our staff at Sci-Port. I
thought the game was a nice pre-packaged experience that was easy to
lead and could be translatable into a three-part lunch-&-learn for
adults at the center. But I had some concerns about it. In the game,
players become policy-makers and they are encouraged to choose 7 carbon
mitigation strategies to fill the "stabilization triangle" to keep
emissions level. Some of the options, like Hydrogen Cars, seemed a
little dated. And I also wondered if the game was not misleading people
into thinking that we have the liberty to pick and choose which
strategies we want to employ. (When I think the reality is closer to us
needing to employ every strategy we have at full-scale ASAP.)
So my question is: do any of you know of a pre-packaged, hands-on set of
activities or curriculum for adults that gives good science about this
issue?
We would like to do a three-part series, each session an hour long,
including a community speaker who will talk for 10-15 minutes at each
session, and a boxed lunch. Anyone done anything like that?
Thanks,
Rebecca Prosino
