The video game and sustainability-themed titles on Netflix

On the occasion of Earth Day even the platforms are tinged with green with more and more titles on the theme of sustainability and environmental protection. Netflix even hosts a video game titled Land Nil! The player’s goal? Plant trees, clean up the waters and purify even the most polluted or arid areas of the planet, transforming them into an ecological paradise.

Those who have already played it define the game as a tough but relaxing and almost therapeutic challenge. There are those who have found this virtual concept so inspiring that they have acquired greener habits in real life too.
