Global Action Plan launches new water conservation game

Our new EcoInteractive game – The Water Explorer.

Designed to engage users in conserving water, the Water Explorer is the first educational game to a give a personal water plan that users can take home.

The The Water Explorer quiz based game shows the value of cutting water use by giving practical tips to help people make the link between water, climate change and everyday habits and products.

Water consumption

In our recent water poll, only 1 in 5 people thought they should personally be taking the lead in saving water. Yet with 45% of the water used in the lifecycle of a pair of jeans occurring during the wash-and-dry home care by the customer for example, it is clear that consumer engagement plays a key part in tackling the issue of water sustainability.

The compound effect of making simple lifestyle changes, such as using water more efficiently in the home, or understanding which products are more water intensive than others, is significant, so we have commissioned the Water Explorer to get a positive and practical message across to make this behaviour change happen. Trewin Restorick, CEO, Global Action Plan.

The Water Explorer has three games with varying difficulty levels. A series of questions probe people who have to tap, pump or flush the amount of water that ordinary household tasks require. Users receive a personal water plan, find out how much water is hidden in the things you buy and how much water people in different countries use.

The Water Explorer is fun and easy way to get people thinking about water and how they use it. It can be hired from Global Action Plan anywhere in the UK for corporate and public events.
