The Time is Now

Challenge, inspire, pitch, and get serious results for positive impact.

Invite your colleagues, friends and family and move to a more sustainable planet one step at a time and inspire others to do so too. Use the Toolkit, to generate actionable ideas, to make your job greener, to make a joint effort in your team and contribute to a sustainable future. The Toolkit generates more effective ideas than any other toolkit within the hour.

All 60 toolcards contain a bit of wisdom, knowledge or fact which we have collected from our global network of scientists, green entrepreneurs, sustainability officers and activists. We used the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a guideline and Project Drawdown for inspiration and fact checking.

Each toolcard has a triggering question to start thinking about solutions:

  • What can you do to stay out of a polluting hospital?
  • How would your holiday look with zero CO2 emissions?
  • How do you co-travel to the office?
  • With whom would you work together for a healthier living and working environment?

Every change towards a more sustainable planet starts with you. You make a difference, one step at a time. So don’t wait for the right time, or the right place. The Time is Now!

About the game

UN SDG’s

The Toolkit is inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as an urgent call to action to work together on the most pressing issues he world is facing currently. These issues are addressed across 17 thematic and interlinked goals, aimed at peace and prosperity for all people and our beautiful planet. In this toolkit we focus on climate and environment. We have chosen to refer to 6 of the 17 goals which, we believe, are best fitted for this game edition.

Project Drawdown

Project Drawdown is a climate change mitigation project initiated by Paul Hawken and climate activist Amanda Joy Ravenhill. As they put it themselves: Project Drawdown’s mission is to help the world reach “drawdown”—the point in the future when levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to steadily decline, thereby stopping catastrophic climate change—as quickly, safely, and equitably as possible. We have used their almost 100 solutions to drawdown for inspiration and fact checking. Please find out more about their important work and achievements on www.drawdown.org.
