The Instant Oil Spill website is pretty inventive, allowing its users to virtually experience the impact of an oil spill. The site asks users to 'spill' oil across any website imaginable to raise awareness of the environmental impact an oil spill has on the world.
The Instant Oil Spill site is meant to let users have a little fun, but the emphasis of clean energy and a more environmentally-friendly future is clear.
Implications - It also connects people to the issue at hand; often environmental issues saturate the media and thus gain awareness, yet they see no actual evidence of the impact in their own society. This game allows them to fully understand the consequences and causes of environmental disasters.
