Want to shoot bows and arrows at leaky oil and gas wells? There's now a video game for you.

Let's start with a climate allegory. I'll call it the Parable of the Three Environmentalists. The first runs a sustainability nonprofit led by Hollywood power players, some of whom care deeply about the climate crisis and some of whom probably care more about good publicity. She's principled but willing to collaborate for the greater good. The second works for an automaker that was once a hybrid vehicle pioneer but more recently has lagged behind on electric cars.

Epic has also worked with educators on lesson plans for teachers based on the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals — lessons meant to be learned by letting students build their own 'Fortnite' islands to experiment with problem-solving. Topics include safeguarding city dwellers from extreme heat and bulwarking coastal towns against rising seas.
