Chris Ward: Learn About Sustainability: Enjoying Yourself With Green Games http://youtu.be/pRNOLI983SU Learn about Sustainability in rental properties and enjoy yourself with our large format games based upon two family favourites, 'Monopoly' and 'Snakes & Ladders'. In 'Rentopoly' players start with a rental property and attempt to improve it's sustainability credentials before it's rent day. In 'Door Snakes & Ladders' players strive to reach the end of the board avoiding sustainability pitfalls and hoping to hit a ladder to make home that little bit greener. We discuss setting up and creating the games, the difficulties, challenges and positive outcomes.
