There’s only one spaceship earth, and your mission as a player and participant is to save it. That’s the goal and mandate of Earthshot™, which was founded to inspire people to take an active role in combatting climate change through video games and compelling immersive experiences offering a powerful, positive, cleantech message. Because almost half the country doesn’t believe that climate change will impact them, Earthshot will offer an online video gaming platform that has a uniquely effective messaging platform: clean technology is innovative and exciting. Evoking a level of excitement akin to humankind’s race to the moon, a new generation of dreamers, inventors, are subtly recruited to help save spaceship Earth. While participating in the mission, individual competitive gamers will come to realize they are already taking action to solve climate change - and this will empower them to want to do more.To help achieve this goal, the founders of Earthshot are looking for like-minded collaborators, sponsors, and partners, so that the solution to climate change takes less time than it took to put man on the moon.
