April 8: On 16-March-2022, Luma World, launched a Board Game called ‘Lord of the Bins’ which is aimed at teaching children and families to learn about waste segregation and circular economies.
Extreme climatic conditions coupled with record temperatures in the Arctic and Antarctic recently has made it evident that we are on the brink of a global environmental disaster! Apart from various immediate actions we need to take, one way to tackle the situation at an individual level is by moving towards circular economies. The game, Lord of the Bins, is linked with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations and helps each one of us understand how to adopt a circular economy approach.
The goal behind the game is to help people engage with a rather neglected topic like waste management and understand what actions they can take immediately to contribute to a better environment and society.
“We want the game (at a global level) to act as the first step to learn how to segregate trash and then participate in community efforts. We have also tied-up with various NGOs to aid their effort in educating people about waste segregation and management.” says Tejasvi, CEO at Luma World.
Sajid Chougle, creative director at Luma World, adds, “The global waste problem is probably the only man-made disaster where every person on the planet is personally guilty. We buy new things and throw them away without thinking where they end up. Before we know it, it’s caused a massive environmental collapse which threatens our lives and that of our kids.”
