Launching Today! April 25, 2008, ARBOR DAY
Jogo Green started with a common goal, a dream to help the environment and stop climate change. While many sites goals are designed to raise awareness about different environmental issues, nothing was available to make a tangible difference, at least at no cost to visitors. It was this very notion, a free platform for consumers to save the environment, that birthed JogoGreen.com

JogoGreen has created an online trivia game, that not only provides great information on how to be green, but takes people’s thoughts and puts them into action. It is a game that touts, “The more you play, the more you plant!” So at no cost, other than time, you can visit the site, play our game, and help save the world!

Here’s how it works: For every 10 questions that are answered correctly on our site, we will plant 1 tree! The trees are paid for by the advertisers on our site. Planting a single tree can take 50 pounds of carbon out of the air every year. That doesn’t seem like much, but if the average world citizen planted a SINGLE tree every 2 months, they would be carbon neutral over their entire life. Jogo Green makes it fun and easy to plant at least a tree every DAY. Imagine the possibilities!

Recent consumer studies have shown a significant increase in both individuals and businesses wanting to help protect/ save our world. Large corporations are looking for ways that they can help. Starbucks now offers Ethos water. Timberland shoes are labeling the amount of carbon emitted during the construction of their different shoes. Hallmark now has project Red, and the list continues. Every person counts in the battle against climate change; it’s truly a community effort. By creating a green website that allows every visitor to make a difference in the world, we are confident that Jogo Green will serve as the platform for environmental advocacy and change!

“Our goal is to plant 1 million trees in a six month time frame. This is enough trees to take 3 billion liters of carbon our of the air every year”.-(Rob Balian, President of Jogo Green and Stanford Freshman) By working in partnership with Trees for the Future (to date they have planted 50 million trees) we believe that we will make a considerable impact on our earth’s carbon footprint in a short period of time.

What if, by planting trees around the world, we could curb climate changes and reduce global warming? What if we could repopulate endangered species, grow economies, replant forests and feed starving people? We believe we can and we will! The revolution starts with a click! Check out their site today and take part in the change!
