The Project:
Treepeople is a website created for Genesis Energy is to show
how small lifestyle changes can have a real impact on the
environment. Aimed primarily at school children, users plant a tree
in a virtual forest, and then sign up for pledges to make small
changes that effect the environment, such as turning off the lights
in an empty room. As the user completes these pledges their tree
grows, eventually becoming a giant in the virtual forest.
Incorporating aspects of social networking, online gaming, and
educational resource sites, Treepeople is truly engaging - as
evidenced by the almost 25,000 trees planted and 90,000 pledges
completed within the first few months.
Terabyte was charged with developing the flash components for
the website, allowing users to explore through the virtual forest
on the homepage. We also assisted with the frontend development to
help meet a very challenging deadline.
