NEW GAME LAUNCHED
Green Team member – Sufyana Johnson – developed a fun and educational game people can play on their phones or computers to help them learn how to reduce, reuse, recycle, and compost during Ramadan at ICCP.
“There are ten levels to the game, each harder than the one before, representing the last ten nights of Ramadan, and you get to celebrate Eid if you make it through them all,” Johnson said.
