The North America Association for Environmental Eduacation (NAAEE) anticipates that environmental awareness education will cultivate knowledge, values, commitment, and skills required that will ensure to protect the environment and make new behavior patterns towards the domain. Dissimilar to developing countries, where kids below 11 years old have shown little awareness of environmental issues, kids in wester societies like the U.K. have shown prior to environmental awareness \cite{castellano2001relationship} \cite{zualkernan2009role}.
In \citet{zualkernan2009role}'s study, They design, implement and evaluate a role-playing game to teach 8-12 years old children regarding environmental awareness. The game involves water pollution, desertification and shortage of non-renewable resources problems. The player will determine each problem by picturing its consequences and by cooperating with other non-playing characters (NPCs) that have struggled because of these problems. The game consist of three stages where each stage is based on a story that is common to a environmental problem. The first stage is called the cave and it is based on a story about water pollution. The player will look for the other players who suffered from water pollution and fight for the creatures or people that is responsible for the polluted water. The second stage of the game is called axioms and it is based on a story about desertification. The player will interact with other players that shares their story about desertification. The player is guided by a falcon to help the player look for the seed for planting different kinds of plants and trees for the deserted arena. The third stage is called Blottwood village. It is based on the story of the shortage of non-renewable resources. In this stage, after figuring out the problem of the shortage of resources, the player founds out that a creature is stealing the villagers resources. The player have to defend the village from the creature so that the shortage of resources will be lessen for the villagers \cite{zualkernan2009role}.
