How to save our planet


I’m no tree hugging hippy nor am I a green warrior but I’ve been feeling guilty about these carbon footprints that we all have and I want to do my bit to help the environment.

Lot's of us walk and cycle to work. Some take buses and trains more often, buy greener cars and we do as much recycling as we can. A friend of mine attaches this... to the bottom of all his emails, very commendable, and even our government are going to huge lengths to reduce the nations polluting by adding extra taxes to things they deem bad for our environment. Because paying more for things is really going to stop us doing these things isn’t it?! Where does all that extra money go anyway? I haven’t noticed them repairing the ozone layer lately!

So what can the average gamer do to help reduce carbon emissions? We know our consoles consume a lot of electricity. We leave them on standby so that messages, Mii’s and demos can all be downloaded while we’re asleep. We even leave them switched on when we’re busy doing other things and whether you’re a hardcore or casual gamer you can’t deny the power consumption of our consoles is harmful to the environment.

Well, thanks to one Norwegian Biologist we have a solution which will mean we can leave all our consoles and TV's on all the time and play as much as we want to without feeling even a little bit guilty.

“Shoot a moose and you have saved the equivalent of 2 long haul flights”, says Reidar Andersen after research showed that the animal expels the equivalent of 2100Kg of CO2 a year. 2 long haul flights! Wow that equals that’s a lot of game time.

Grab your shotguns gamers and track down a moose today.

Do you own a gun or live next door to a herd of moose? We need to hear from you NOW!.
