Catchment Detox - SimCity with an environmental conscience!
I came across this today on the ABC website. It’s like SimCity with an environmental conscience 
I only meant to have a look, and before I knew it, my turns were up, and I’d scored about 319,100! I may have to go try again soon when I’m not feeling quite so sick… darn Ekka cold season…
From the website:
“Play Catchment Detox to see if you can repair a damaged river catchment and create a sustainable and thriving economy.
It’s an online game where you’re in charge of the whole catchment. You get to decide what activities you undertake - whether to plant crops, log forests, build factories or set up national parks. The aim is to fix environmental problems and provide food and wealth for the population.
Managing Australia’s waterways is a huge challenge with climate change, increased demand for water and environmental problems putting our rivers under stress. Catchment Detox gives an idea of just how difficult it is to manage a river catchment.
Are you up for the challenge?”

That’s quite a fun game… even more so since I got a decent score of 384,478…
I guess I must have had my eco-pants on…
