💡 Key Insight:
“In the laboratory, we see the kind of population growth that humans
underwent during the great acceleration when we study bacteria and yeasts. A few small settlement-like colonies on a Petri dish, when given as much food as they want and need, initially grow slowly, but growth accelerates until the food is devoured and the Petri dish is covered with bubbling life.”

Game: Eco - Steam
In this simulation game, build and manage a society where decisions on resource management impact the entire ecosystem. It's a hands-on way to explore sustainability concepts and the delicate balance between development and preservation.
🎮 Steam user review: "Quite interesting game where you have to consider the environment whilst trying to race to a high enough developed society that you can manage to take care of the looming threat of an incoming meteor. With the implementation of governments and economy, it becomes complex enough to keep a larger amount of players going."
