To bring about A BETTER "WORLD"...the entire planet...what makes your app fun & how is it different from others in maintaining players' interests (how does it play)? Please explain why your application, is suited/perfect to using 'media' when our world is already flooded with games & medias of every kind. Why would a player want to [eco-play]? Thanks! a.

The flood of Game Apps shows the great level of interest in interactive play style of communication. Before the age of ultra-connectivity, games were played in small groups or alone. Now social networking sites, cell phones and all of the rest of the internet offer so many ways to play. Just like the concept of business needs to expand to make room for socially and ecologically beneficial companies that also make profit, the world of game-play needs to expand to globally beneficial games that are also fun and challenging. The exposure of this competition would be the perfect vehicle to promote EcoRealidad and draw the Challenge designers and the participants together. All this brain power should be put toward real problems. When it is, and fun is also prioritized, lots of daunting dilemmas can be solved. At El Fuego del Sol in the Dominican Republic, we run into fascinating challenges practically every week. Fun and fascinating gaming applications are just around the corner.

This would be a great educational too for teenagers and children. They love games and want to be involved in the grown up world.
I have also thought about a platform where a particular social issue might be addressed. Instead of collecting signatures, citizens could join the page and deliver it collectively to their legislator. It probably already happens , but may not have a formal format.
I am wondering how the great ideas generated from your app actually find their way to anyone with enough power to make change happen?
