Change your Habbit - fun eco-footprinting

Sun, 13/07/2008 - 11:32

The RSA are starting to get a name for themselves for 'getting' social media and web innovation. The 'Create your Habbit' game asks you some questions about your eco-footprint and uses this information to create distorted humanoid characters called Habbits. It then encourages you to change your Habbits (get it?).

My Habbit is shown to the left. He appears to be a skinny human with a largish head, which isn't significantly different from how I actually look. I'm hoping this is coincidence though, as some of the other Habbits on the site have enormous hands and feet. Maybe if I start driving a car, then I'll lose the ability to use a mobile phone and computer keyboards.

Why I love this game, is that I've filled in a dozen environmental footprinting forms before, and they have all been extremely dull. This one is fun! You see your belly expand as you tell it you eat too much. Or the feet distorting as it learns you travel about a lot.

Create your own Habbit!
