Take control of the Earth - and stop global warming!

Earthopoly is re-working of a game with a similar name but with a distinctly eco-conscious flavor.

Players become caretakers of a variety of global landmarks and charge other players carbon credits for landing on them. Convert the carbon credits into clean air and help the fight against global warming!

This fun game has been developed in the US by Late For The Sky. The paper is recyclable and the printing is done with soy-based inks.

The game is full of plenty of helpful information and educational for players of all ages. The game won't change the world, but it can help educate us all in ways in which we can.

The tokens are all made by nature and will vary from time to time based on availability. In the first production run they are as follows:

• A lima bean currently purchased through a local grocer and Rancho Gordo www.ranchogordo.com
• Giant Corn is purchased at the manufacturer's local grocer
• A piece of crystal coming from Arkansas
• The black walnut pyramid in Earthopoly comes from a tree that fell in a local front yard 20 years ago.
• The bamboo ring is from naturally occurring bamboo plants
• The shell was chosen because it is gathered by hand by island locals and used for food, then bleached clean and sold. The manufacturer works with a reputable supplier paying a fair wage.
• The most extravagant piece chosen for the tokens is a stone called Carnelian. The stone is alluvial, meaning it is a deposit of debris, soil and particles resulting from erosion transported by rainwater, by a stream or by the sea. It is from Botswana. The stones are collected piece by piece by the local inhabitants in the outlying rural districts of northeast Botswana and sold to dealers who travel around periodically in their pick-ups to collect and pay for the stones. There is no coercion and everyone is free to collect stones and sell to dealers at the going prices.
