In this episode, we delve into the powerful intersection of gaming and environmental activism. Join host Carlos Garcia as he explores how Free Lives, the creative minds behind the game Terranil, have gone beyond the digital realm to take meaningful action in real-world sustainability. Terranil invites players into a post-apocalyptic world where they can restore lifeless biomes to lush ecosystems—an experience both inspiring and thought-provoking. But Free Lives’ commitment doesn’t end on-screen; they donate 8% of their Steam sales to the Endangered Wildlife Trust and have planted nearly 49,000 trees through Tree-Nation. Through Terranil, Free Lives demonstrates the power of games to both entertain and inspire, and this episode sheds light on the company’s dedication to environmental action. Tune in to hear about Free Lives’ impactful work, how they’re reimagining gaming’s role in sustainability, and what we can do as consumers to support companies that prioritize the planet.

English isn't my first language and sometimes it may not be so great but I'm trying to improve. I'm also trying to find the ideal way to make these, maybe I should be more conversational rather than informational.
