\u2018Reset Earth\u2019 will present on the World Education Day (January 24th<\/sup>) an animation film on the importance of protecting the Ozone layer for the planet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018Reset Earth\u2019 is an innovative educational platform for adolescents about the fundamental role of the ozone layer in protecting the planet.<\/p>\n

The film\u2019s plot continues in a challenging mobile game for Android and IOS (February 10th). The platform is initiated by United Nations Ozone Secretariat to sustain the protection of the ozone layer through the sensitization and engagement of Gen Z.<\/p>\n

The Reset Earth mobile game<\/strong>\u00a0is a single player platform game, combining a retro graphics style and hand-drawn artwork and aligned with the film\u2019s storyline. Players – whether adolescent gamers or their parents – switch between characters and utilize their unique abilities throughout four levels of the game. Through unlocking puzzles, players learn about environmental history and the science of protecting the planet.<\/p>\n

The Reset Earth animation film<\/strong>\u00a0is set in a dystopian post-apocalyptic world in 2084, where the ozone layer has been completely ruined and human life is under threat from an unstoppable virus called \u201cThe Grow\u201d. It is the story of three teenagers who team up in an epic time-travel adventure to save the planet and what\u2019s left of human life. Their mission is to find out what caused the \u201cThe Grow\u201d. They travel back to critical historical moments in the story of the mysterious \u2018ozone layer\u201d, essential to stopping the virus, and learning as they go about the fundamental role it plays in protecting the health wellbeing of the planet. To save the ozone layer, they must jump back in time to ensure the signing of the Montreal Protocol agreement.<\/p>\n

Ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) like CFCs, HFCs, HCFCs have been widely used throughout the 20th century, mostly for refrigeration, in air conditioners and aerosol sprays. ODSs threaten the earth\u2019s upper atmosphere, drive up temperatures and account for close to 11 per cent of total warming emissions to date. Since the 1980s, the international community has acted to protect the ozone layer by banning or strictly restricting the use and production of such super greenhouse effect gases.<\/p>\n

Consequently, the Antarctic ozone is expected to close by the 2060s (without action, it might have been 40 per cent larger by now) and other regions will return to 1980s values even earlier.<\/p>\n

Meg Seki, Acting Executive Secretary of the Ozone Secretariat, said, \u201cThe protection of the ozone layer cannot be considered a done deal. It must be a continuous effort by us and by future generations. If our children learn about the grim consequences of a ruined ozone layer, they will act to keep it only as part of a fantasy game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reset Earth begins a year-long education initiative by the Secretariat to raise awareness and inspire action among adolescents and parents about global ozone protection. Immersive, educational and thought-provoking, Reset Earth conveys a positive message around what can be achieved through collective action and cultivates a sense of environmental responsibility and ownership amongst the youth.<\/p>\n
