Multiplayer Facebook Game Trash Tycoon Trains You To Be Green (But In A Fun Way)

Guerillapps, a social game maker, debuted a cool new Facebook game at Disrupt NYC that is adding a new spin to green games. What's more, from what I can tell, Trash Tycoon is the first "upcycling" game to hit the Facebook platform. But what is this "upcycling", you ask? Upcycling is the process of converting waste materials into new products of better quality and higher environmental value, so when gamers play Trash Tycoon, they take on the role of recycling entrepreneurs responsible for doing just that. Gamers become the stewards of their city, a la Sim City, fighting litter and trash wherever it rears its ugly head. Players earn game money and points by collecting trash and upcycling it to create new products out of trash, just like its sponsor TerraCycle does in the real, green world.
