Description Environmental sustainability has become more and more a very important topic that will also change our way of life in the near future. A question is how people can be influenced into becoming more aware of environmental sustainability. Since technology is considered a means to simplify people’s lives, it can also be used as a tool to support people’s awareness of these aspects. This paper investigates how we can use a mobile phone in combination with a solar panel as a wearable in a playful way to support people’s awareness of plant-based environments. For this purpose, the first version of a mobile game was developed with the goal that the players can not only learn what a plant needs to grow healthy but also learn about the sun as a renewable energy source.
