This Project is a game from which goal is the destruction of trees (desforestation). Consonant the development of the game, the destruction will have consequences, such as reality. The forest as lung of the earth cleans a little of the dirtiness that man send to the atmosphere.
We face trough an application, of an entertaining and basic character the relation consumption-pollution, an endless and vicious circle.
The game is very simple. With only a touch in the main character we can make it move, and also we can activate the icons, so they do what they are mean to do. The interface is a touch screen, that wouldn’t be the main attraction from no exposition or museum, but something light, where people could distract and have an entertainment moment. It would be an application also possible to a different interface as a phone mobile, so then would be necessary a formulation of the game mood.

Motor Development International is a company founded by the aeronautic engineer Guy Nègre. The fruit of the research and investment undertaken by this company for more than a decade, may "explode" at a worldwide level very soon, maybe in a couple of years. This will happen because, in a world increasingly concerned about environmental issues and sustainability, Guy Nègre proposes almost completely eradicate one of the elements that contributes the most to urban pollution - the gases from cars. To do so, the company developed an engine powered by compressed air, with zero CO 2 emissions. The company's site offers detailed information on the concept of the compressed air engine, and models of vehicles (light, public and industrial) where this new technology is applied.

This world is our home. As such, to be able to live in it we must maintain it in conditions that are favourable, not only to us, but also to the other beings with whom we share it. Take good care of it - for that we must know it and, in this particular moment, we must understand what is happening around us, learn the consequences of our actions on the environment and try to find ways to eliminate the negative ones. This book gives us notice of the actual state of the environment and the impact that men has on it.
