1000 Push-ups for the Planet
You can’t understand a thing about your electricity bills ? You can’t tell if it’s the new washing-machine that’s using too much or the high-tech kettle you just bought ?
1000 Push-ups for the Planet is a very intuitive game that compares two types of energetic consumptions :
– the everyday ones (boiling water, scrolling on social media, being stuck in traffic…)
– the sports ones (a zumba class, a marathon, lenghts in a pool…)
With all the different game plays, not only you will gain a few energetic facts, but you will be asking for more !
