OPOWER, a company that put together gaming and energy saving into one are now trying to create an app with Facebook that will let friends compete against each other while saving electricity.
"The hope is to get friends to compete against each other to use less energy, and to hold each other accountable for energy-use-reduction goals, said Ogi Kavazovic, a spokesman for OPOWER."
The app is expected to allow people to share their energy use data with their friends.
Users who use OPOWER show 2-3% less energy use in comparison to those who don't, so this app could be not only helpful for the environment (and our wallets), but could also be fun.
I think this is a great way for gamers to not only have fun, but to use their resources in a way it impacts the environment in a beneficial way.
