Monopoly by Hasbro Goes Green
New Here? If so, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed.
Would you like to contribute a guest article? If so, shoot Missy an email. Thanxs!I can’t tell you how many countless games of Monopoly, the family and I have played. It is always a blast, not to mention a fierce duel to the very end.
So i was quite amused and impressed from hearing that game board Monopoly (by Hasbro) has decided to introduce a green version of the uber popular game. The new Green Monopoly version will have utilities powered by wind and solar energy, further creating awareness of the viability for renewable energy sources. So essentially no “water works” or “electric company” in this version.
The NEW! green Monopoly, called “Monopoly Here and Now, The World Edition” will be out this fall. Get your strategy down now!
Thanks for visiting!

HI—Chef Erik:
You are absolutely right.
There are loads of big (and small) companies that are incorporating eco friendly practices into their businesses. IMHO “going green” is a trend, but one that will continue for quite some time. Monopoly is but one, there are many many more.
I write about green living and eco trends at green blog, Keetsa. Do feel free to visit me there, and read more on it.
Pretty cool. Maybe they’ll create a 100% green version by using recycled paper and corn plastic.
Other games could easily jump in one this market. Jinga could easily switch to recycled wood or something like that. Not really a big market out there yet, I guess. Much more of a niche item for the time being. Hopefully that changes.

Hi—-JB:
There is definitely more they could do to make the Monopoly, the board game, even greener. This is a step in the right direction, though.
It is a minor step, but it has created awareness, as here we are talking about it. And so are others.
Thanxs for coming by!
Missy.
It is great that more and more things in our lives remind us the the importance of renewable energy. I think that the next 5 years will bring us tons of new advances for renewable energy. I wish that we would also start to use nuclear power more. All in all, this would really help our environment to use less oil and coal. While nuclear power can be scary, the U.S. and Europe have used nuclear energy very safely for a long time.

That’s soooo cool. It’s just a matter of time befor all these big companies jump on board. The secret is in our youth. Show them and they will change everything for the better.
