Alter Space: Play and learn to reduce your carbon footprint

ALTER SPACE, THE NEW FILIPINO-DEVELOPED Facebook game, is a fun way for gamers to learn practical tips on Earth-friendly living. This means a lifestyle that helps reduce the effects of global warming, climate change and carbon emissions on the planet. These tips are presented as part of various tasks and mini-games that the gamer plays. Alter Space was developed by AboitizPower to educate gamers on Carbon Footprint Reduction (more on that later).

Azkals’ Anton del Rosario supports AboitizPowers’ Alter Space

Aside from the CosPlay Goddess Alodia Gosiengfiao, Azkals Anton del Rosario is one of the endorsers of AboitizPowers’ Alter Space. Alter Space is the very first Filipino made Facebook game that will encourage online users to be aware of the carbon footprints and to protect the environment.

"Our environment is not in a good state right now, especially with all the pollution around us. We can all feel its effect in our lives. People need to learn how to save energy, how to recycle, and to cut down on the things that aren't unnecessary," Del Rosario explained.

Alter Space was officially launched in Facebook last February 25 and gained supports all Filipino users and along with other non-Filipino environmental advocates. The game aims to challenge users to create their own planet and protect it by being conscious with the use of energy and resources that leads to the increase of carbon footprints. It also gives awareness on several natural alternative source of energy like solar energy and hydro electricity which is one of the environmental advocacy of AboitizPowers with their Cleanergy project.




"I feel that people will like this game because it's like building your own world, and people get attached to these kinds of games. In this game, you're nurturing not just the person, but also their environment," Anton explained

Alodia Gosiengfiao promotes Alter Space

Cosplay Goddess Alodia Gosiengfiao with Anton del Rosario of the AZCALS promotes the first Filipino made Facebook game application that promotes environmental awareness. The game called Alter Space and it was created by AboitizPower Corporation and aims to educate people on what carbon foot print (CF) is, how people can lower their CF emission and help preserve the Earth’s resources. Aboitiz Power Corp. is the country’s leading producer of Cleanergy, brand that is clean and renewable energy and with the game they developed it will encourage the youth who were mostly Facebook users to do their part in protecting the environment.

According to Alodia, she enjoyed playing the game and she finds it challenging. "The great thing about Alter Space is that it's not just any typical game that you play. In a creative way, it actually teaches people to be conscious of the carbon footprint they produce, which means changing their habits for the good of the Earth," she added.

The main objective of Alter Space is to take cake of their own little planet by balancing Happiness, Current-cy (term use for money) and Carbon Footprint. To assure balance, they should fulfill the entire task assigned to them in a particular level. Aside from the task there are challenges like disasters and enemies that will affect the percentage of CF which player should maintain it low.

"First of all, from the sneak peek alone, I knew I would enjoy playing the game. And I'm sure many people from all sectors will, too. Imagine, moms will be able to learn how to lower their electric bills and see their kids discover the importance of conservation and indeed an innovative way to help promote environment-friendly practices, especially among young people” Alodia ended.
