"Green" Jigsaw Puzzles Can Actually
Grow Wildflowers
Chicago--- Now you can do a jigsaw puzzle and also help to
save the planet. GREEN PIECES is a line of 500 piece
jigsaw puzzles imbued with the seeds of over a dozen wildflower
species. Whether you complete the puzzle or not, the pieces can be
planted in the backyard and ... voila... wildflowers.
Innovated
by TDC Games, a well-known maker of
board games and unusual jigsaw puzzles, Green Pieces... Earth Friendly Jigsaw Puzzles
is a series of four 500 piece jigsaw puzzles that have been
laminated with a special paper that contains the seeds of various
wildflower species.
"Planting
the pieces will actually grow flowers," says Larry Balsamo,
president of TDC Games. “They take a while, but if you water
them regularly, they will look pretty and also reduce your carbon
footprint.”
Aside
from having the capability of growing everything from Evening
Primrose to Spurred Snapdragons, Green Pieces
also feature puzzle images with unique ecological themes. “AMER-CANS”
features an American Eagle that is composed of over 3,500 aluminum
cans... or the same amount that is discarded in the U.S.A. every
single second. “I NEED A
HUG” is an image of a Panda made from 2,000 smaller pictures
of logging operations. The puzzle points out that there are less
than 2,000 Pandas left in the world largely because of
deforestation of their natural habitat.
"We
wanted to create the greenest products possible," said
Balsamo. "Using the flowers as a carbon offset has been a
unique way to accomplish that goal… and plant the seeds of
environmental awareness... so to speak."
All
four of the Green Pieces Jigsaw Puzzles
are available at Barnes & Noble and at toy, gift, book
and department stores nationwide at a suggested retail price of
$15.99
TDC
also has released THE GREEN GAME,
a much anticipated board game designed to be a fun way to increase
environmental awareness.
