Green Prix

The Green Ninja and the Carbon Ninja are in a car race, using cars that are fueled by different foods. Their aim is to reach the finish line in the shortest time with the lowest carbon footprint. The Green Ninja and the Carbon Ninja trade blows on the track, but it's the Carbon Ninja who takes the early lead. However, the Carbon Ninja stops just short of the finish line, leaving the cool and calm Green Ninja to win the Green Prix.

Energy-efficient food : The story shows the Carbon Ninja racing towards the beef, but the slow-and-steady Green Ninja angles towards lower-emission foods , like carrots or chicken.

Air transportation: The Carbon Ninja puts his vehicle into overdrive using the Carbon Blast , flying up and approaching the finish. Unfortunately, the Carbon Ninja fails to properly calculate how much energy it takes to fly , and his car reaches a Carbon Brick Wall.

Driving versus biking: You can view the data and see charts that show the emissions per mile for driving versus biking .
