"'The Great Greens Adventure Game' will launch in 2009 and will become the centerpiece of WGBH’s the Greens website, designed to engage kids 9-13 with environmental issues," WGBH said in a press release.

The ESA Foundation was created by the American interactive entertainment software industry to support and provide opportunities that can make a difference in the health, welfare, and quality of life of America’s youth, WGBH noted in its release.
