Chopped liver?</p>
<p>That’s the question that <a href="http://www.cencom.org/bios.aspx?id=3680" title="Amy Tucker">Amy Tucker</a>, CEO of Matter Group and founder of a new kid’s multimedia property called <a href="http://xeko.com" title="Xeko">Xeko</a>, posed at a recent meeting of <a href="http://www.womeninchildrensmedia.org/" title="Women in Children's Media">Women in Children’s Media</a> where the subject was “green” media.</p>
<p>Xeko challenges kids to “Be a Force of Nature.” By combining a trading card game, eco-friendly plush dolls, a cast of animals facing extinction, exotic endangered locales, and difficult web-based missions, Xeko itself promises to be a force to be reckoned with.<span id="more-306"></span></p>
<p>While the game play is a bit convoluted for my tired brain, kids seem to love it. Watch a Xeko card game demo at <a href="http://www.ambitiousgreen.com/products/xeko-mission-china-starter-deck" title="Ambitious Green">Ambitious Green</a>.</p>
<p>And, from what I can tell, the love extends passed the earnest “Birkenstock-wearing” families to good old kids that find Xeko as captivating as the Yu-gi-ohs or Pokemons of the world. The game play appeals to the same card-collecting, rule-memorizing kids that love trading cards, but, as Tucker says, “it’s organic—good for people, high quality, and good for the planet.”</p>
<p>You’ll want to give Xeko a try and keep that notion of organic media close as you guide your kids through their media choices.</p>
