Jane McGonigal Angry birds – 1 billion downloads & 200 mil per day 71% of US workers are actively disengaged we have passion to work and solve problems, but it
is displaced in virtual worlds how to harness the millions of hours skills & abilities – producing positive emotions Showmethescience.com even violent games add creativity
Jane McGonigal gamers spend 80% of the time failing HARNESSING THE VIRTUAL WORLD
1. – can summon crowds out of thin air [100% increase in volunteer participation for the
gaming gardens – using google maps] 2. – working together? [fold-it game beats
computer] 3. - see the future
world without oil game – now wwo early warning system

ocean Tomahawk missile costs $2mil We fired 150 of them in one day recently We spent $2 mil on research in the arctic
ocean
Phillipe Costeau Importance of educating the young Why we wet the toothbrush – behaviors

THEY WERE RIGHT. The sustainability movement is RIGHT
Scott HorstVP - LEED
GOOGLE grant of $3 Million for materials research LEED v4 MR Credits – Chemicals of Concern History repeats: Rachel Carson, Silent Spring - 50 years ago
last September DDT was a de-licer in WWII – Govt wanted to employ ex-
pilots to spray everywhere, both public and private land She was personally attacked, accused of being communist 1962 – Monsanto publication “the desolate year” LEED v4 blowback (on concerned chemicals): “there will be
work to limit use of LEED in federal and state governments”.
William McDonough WHAT’S NEXT is what’s next Design is the first signal of human intention A regulation is a signal of design failure Anthropocene era – planetary change caused
by humans Carbon is our friend – we are carbon
William McDonough We don’t have an energy problem, we have a
material problem – carbon is in the wrong place
A toxin is a material in the wrong place Materials as nutrients – biological & technical Material reutilization Renewable energy, period
