"We all make the world."
--Xeko proverb

Xeko Agents know that our planet is an interconnected wonder; its air, water, land, plants, animals, and human-made things all collaborate to support every organism on Earth. What occurs in one part of the world impacts the balance and health of our entire planet.

With just one Earth, we're all part of the same team!

As a Xeko Agent has probably already told you, a robust and thriving environment is crucial to our collective health and happiness. Even the smallest actions can add up to make a BIG difference when we all work together.

Here are just a few ways you can help:

Practice the Three Rs

There are many steps you can take to safeguard the future of our planet, and the three Rs are an excellent place to start.

  • Reduce: Find new ways to avoid making trash in the first place! For example, when shopping, don't take bags for small items you'll consume right away, like soda or gum. When you must use a shopping bag, bring your own reusable cloth bag. Use sponges instead of paper towels. Bring your own coffee mug. Use the library instead of buying books. How many more can you think of?
  • Reuse: Find new uses for items that you'd throw away or even recycle. Donate used magazines to hospitals and community centers. Use junk mail as note paper (or take yourself off lists to reduce how much you receive). Repurpose plastic and glass containers as storage containers. Reuse paper and plastic bags as garbage bags. Donate usable items instead of throwing them away. Learn how you can compost food scraps and yard waste. Be imaginative!
  • Recycle: Recycling can be easy with just a little preparation. Set aside bins specifically for recycling, and put them in a convenient place. Divvy up the duties among family members to foster a common sense of purpose and responsibility. Post a list of commonly recycled materials. Educate yourself in the recycling rules of your community. Make it easy on yourself!

In addition, there are many ways to go beyond the three Rs, such as conserving water and electricity and using non-toxic cleaners--just to name a few. Put your Xeko Agent investigative powers to the test and see how many other ways you can find to make a difference!

Xeko Green Stars Program

Attention, Xeko Agents! We know that you play Xeko to have fun, but we also know how much you care about our planet and want to protect it.

After spending long hours in the legendary Greenworks laboratory, the Masters at Xeko HQ have devised another ingenious way for you to make a big difference: Send us your empty Xeko booster pack wrappers for recycling and begin earning points in Xeko's Green Stars program. Here's how:

  • Sign up for an account on xeko.com (only members of xeko.com can earn Green Stars) if you haven't already.
  • Mail empty Xeko booster pack wrappers to Xeko HQ at the following address:

Xeko Green Stars
887 West Marietta St, Ste S-111
Atlanta, GA 30318

Write down your name, date of birth, and Agent ID (xeko.com user name) on a piece of paper or an index card. Be sure to use the same Agent ID you used to sign up at xeko.com. (If you are age 12 or younger, please also provide your parent's or guardian's name and email address.) Include this information with your booster pack wrappers so that we will know who sent them in.

Check out the Xeko Events section and read the Xeko blog at blog.xeko.com to find out about activities you can participate in to earn even more Xeko Points.

Thanks for doing your part by going Xeko green!

Xeko Players Help Conservation International Save the Hotspots

Did you know that for every Xeko starter set, booster pack, and Xeko Pal(TM) you purchase, we make a donation to Conservation International, a non-profit organization working to save the hotspots? We are proud to donate 4% of Xeko net sales to support Conservation International's work in 44 countries around the world.

Check out the hotspots featured in the Xeko adventure and learn more about Conservation International at www.conservation.org/xeko.

At Xeko, We Eat Our Own Green Food!

Xeko game materials and packaging are made from recycled and recyclable materials. Xeko trading cards are printed using eco-friendly inks, which are kinder to the environment. Xeko Pals plush toys are made from sustainable materials such as certified organic cotton and soy-based fabric, and they're stuffed with soy filling instead of the usual polyester found in most stuffed animals. We keep our Xeko game packaging to a minimum, and even our promotional items like posters and postcards are made from recycled materials.

By printing Xeko trading cards on New Leaf(TM) recycled paper, we've saved 218 fully grown trees and almost 48,000 gallons of water, and kept nearly 18,000 pounds of additional greenhouses gases out of the Earth's atmosphere. And that's just from the first four Xeko Missions alone!

We wrap our Xeko booster pack displays in EarthFirst(R) PLA film made from plant-based Ingeo(TM) polymer--unlike the usual plastic shrink wrap, which is made from petrochemical-based film. Despite our green credentials--or because of them!--we don't rest on our laurels: Xeko HQ offers its vast knowledge and resources to help us continually improve our methods and get even greener in everything we do.

If every person and every company were to choose recycled, recyclable, and sustainably made products--and if we all reduced the amount of stuff we consume in the first place--just think how much better off our planet would be!
