Ncikelodeon's Multiplayer Kids game helps with environmental issues

Nickelodeon gets kids to be aware of environmental issues with the launch of "The Big Green Help Global Challenge" a multiplayer made for kids with real-world environmental change in mind. Kids are asked to virtually pledge volunteer hours so that they can translate into actionable steps in their homes, communities and schools. Kids can choose from four Nicktoon characters SpongeBob SquarePants, Back at the Barnyard's Otis, The Fairly OddParent's Timmy Turner and Avatar's Aang then partner with up to three other players in a face-off against CO2-spewing monsters. The multiplayer online green game will be available in more than 15 Nickelodeon markets, including: UK, Brazil, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Portugal, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Indonesia, Mexico, and Argentina, with additional countries to follow. January 2009, Nickelodeon in the U.S. will provide kids with local resources and events to translate their virtually volunteered hours into real-world action. In partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Girl Scouts USA, The LeBron James Family Foundation, National Wildlife Federation, Natural Resources Defense Council, National 4-H Council and NFL.
