Children of the Elements

Communicating sustainability is a huge challenge - I get all sorts of cold calling emails from various projects and proposals for me to highlight on this blog. I have to say I could fill every day with several such entries but most get deleted....however here's one that interested me more....a brother and a sister working on an interactive children's story for iPads: Children of the Elements.

It is an interactive 'educational App hand-painted on 40 screens' (see pic), addressing the topic of sustainability, teaching children and parents about our planet - the reader can make choices about what action to take. Anyhow see more about the project at the link below - they are basically after some funds - can anyone help?

Consumerism is a tricky one - aren't we trying to get all the middle classes even those who consume - maybe such a message will be heard via this ipad - just watched film on the link and pics are v beautiful.
