[Title] Video games and the environment - How are they related?

[Self-made header picture] For example a picture of a person playing a video game on a computer, with an image of the earth in the background.

[Short intro] Video games are a popular pastime for many people, but they can have an impact on the environment. In collaboration with students from India, we conducted an experiment to measure the actual energy consumption of video games on different devices with various graphics settings.

[Relation to the Project befter - before & after the experience] Our experiment helped us understand the environmental impact of video games and the importance of sustainable use of electronic devices.

[Main body]

[Methodology] We conducted an experiment to measure the energy consumption of different video games on devices with varying graphics settings.

[Media creations] We created a video that shows our experiment and its results. We also created an audio podcast that discusses the impact of video games on the environment.

[Interview] We conducted an interview with a student from India who discussed the challenges of playing video games on limited resources.

[Picture gallery with captions] We included a picture gallery with captions that show the equipment we used for our experiment and the results of our measurements.

[Survey results, Graphics, tables, etc.] We included graphics and tables that show the energy consumption of different video games on devices with various graphics settings.

[Experience, Reflection] Based on our experiment, we learned that video games with high graphics settings consume more energy than those with low graphics settings. We also learned that the sustainable use of electronic devices is an important factor in reducing energy consumption.

[Insights, experience, conclusion, tips for future teams, technical advice, etc.] We recommend that gamers use low graphics settings to reduce energy consumption and consider reusing old devices or their parts to minimize environmental impact. We also suggest conducting more experiments to better understand the environmental impact of video games.
