Game night has just become much more environmentally-friendly thanks to Go Green Games. Classic games such as checkers, Jenga, horseshoes and more have been constructed out of recycled wood and plastic bags.
Conceived by Texas-based deck-builder Peter Toomey, Go Green Games was inspired by the amount of deck wood and plastic bags discarded during his day job. For every game built, 31 plastic bags are kept out of landfills.
