Niantic also shared some of the efforts made by different non-government organisations and players. Pure Earth came together to hold an educational workshop in the Philippines to collect trash and create “eco bricks” - which are made out of plastic bottles filled with rubbish - to show how they could be used as insulation, or reinforced with mud to make durable walls. And a🐟 group in Taiwan used the event to run an educational program in a local elementary school to teach the students how greenhouse gases influence the Earth, and what they can do collectively to help reduce waste.
This is the second year Niantic has brought its communities together for Earth Day. Last year, Pokemon Go’s saw 4,200 trainers across 19 countries collect 6,500 Kgs of waste. To raise awareness for the cause, Pokemon Go holds special limited-time events, with this 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:year's event seeing an increase in grass types, as well as giving players the chance to catch a shiny Diglett up unt🔯il May 2.
The amount of work and effort that went into the event is truly outstanding, and🐻 it just goes to 𒅌show how wonderful gaming communities can be when they work together.

I started out writing for the games section of a student-run website as an undergrad, and continued⛦ to write about games in my free time during retail and temp jobs for a number of years. Eventually, I earned an MA in magazine journalism at Cardiff University, and soon after got my first official role in the industry a🌳s a content editor for Stuff magazine. After writing about all things tech and games-related, I then did a brief stint as a freelancer before I landed my role as a staff writer here at GamesRadar+. Now I get to write features, previews, and reviews, and when I'm not doing that, you can usually find me lost in any one of the Dragon Age or Mass Effect games, tucking into another delightful indie, or drinking far too much tea for my own good.
