Gcycle Gets Gaming Guys to Recycle

gcycle.jpg

We really dig this effort by G4 TV and 72andSunny to get unmotivated gamers to recycle. Gcycle features Sick Animation-style animation, two Terrence and Phillip-esque characters and a fish that bitchslaps earth abusers repeatedly. In other words it exploits the subtlest debts of twenty-something humour.

The tagline “Dude, c’mon” is a lazy admonition that somehow adequately demonstrates how little work it actually takes to recycle. After selecting what you want to throw away you can enter your zip code for recycling centers near you. Spiffay.

Cornell researcher Vanessa Bohns has spent years studying why people agree to requests they’d rather decline, and her research consistently finds that people dramatically overestimate the social cost of saying no, which means most of the exhaustion of over-committing gets paid for a consequence that was never really on the table
