Mike Hazas
Mike Hazas has a PhD in Mobile Computing from the University of Cambridge is a professor of human-Computer interaction at the Department of Information Technology at Uppsala University and leads the Digital Ecologies Lab at the same insitution. Mike´s research is concerned with everyday practices and digital technologies, and how they can be related to sustainability (energy demand and carbon emissions). Much of his recent work has focused on the proliferation of online services (streaming, social networking, gaming); and their invisible impacts due to the Internet and data centres. Mike has also spent significant time researching thermal comfort; and digital automation. I employ both qualitative and quantitative approaches.

He is interested in understanding and working towards a shift from polluting non-renewable fossil energy sources and implications for computing. The two broad questions that spurs his interest in computing and sustainability are: 1) What happens when exponential developments in computing bump into environmental or sustainability-related limits and 2) What is the role of ICT in the transformation to a more sustainable society (where people can live good lives within planetary boundaries).

PlayCreateGreen
PlayCreateGreen is a direct result of Bornholm Game Days 2019. At this industry event, more than 40 Nordic game companies decided that climate was the most important issue to address in the following year. Nordisk Games, therefore, offered to facilitate a climate group during 2019-2020 to make real change.
The climate group with representatives from Avalanche Studios Group, BetaDwarf, Embracer Group, Landfall Games, Massive Entertainment, Nordisk Games, SYBO, Reto Moto and Bornholm Game Days addressed several climate issues and soon realized that many others, like themselves, want to act but don’t know how to get started, what to do and who to talk to.
This is the reason why PlayCreateGreen.org was born – to share, inspire, and make real change possible for all game companies. In October 2020 version 1.0 of PlayCreateGreen was launched and Nordisk Games, Embracer Group, Landfall Games, Swedish Games Industry, Massive Entertainment and Advenimus have since taken upon them to contributed to the funds to continue PlayCreateGreen and develop the movement, community, and online handbook.
