VERMONTIVATE, Sustainablity Game Creator comes to Craftsbury
Date: Thursday, Feb. 13
Time: 6:30 pm
Location: Sterling College Dining Hall, Craftsbury Common
Vermontivate is a locally designed sustainability game that allows participants — individuals, classes, businesses and entire communities — to earn points by taking steps to improve and protect the environment. The Craftsbury Energy Committee wants Craftsbury to be involved in this year’s game. An information session with the game’s creator, Kathryn Blume, will be held at Sterling College in the Dining Hall on Thursday, February 13 at 6:30 PM.
The Energy Committee wants to have a Town team, a school team and a Sterling college team. Playing Vermontivate is simple: On March 23, Vermont Energy Independence Day, you sign up at vermontivate.com and set up your profile. (Beware: if you don’t upload a photo of yourself, the default image is of a cow’s behind.) If you’re the first person from your town to sign up, you will essentially be registering your town in the game. The more activities you and your neighbors engage in and share on your profiles, the more points you get. And the more participants your town has, the more points you’ll collectively accumulate. The town with the most points after five weeks, on May 5, Green Up Day, wins a giant Ben & Jerry’s ice cream party for the whole community, as well as a trophy. Vermontivate is designed to make environmental activism doable.
Extra Info: If you can’t attend this meeting, but you want to be on a Craftsbury team, please call Amelia Fritz at 586-2887. You also can find out more at www.vermontivate.com.
