Trash Tycoon on Facebook!!

Trash Tycoon which is sponsored by Terracycle  <http://www.terracycle.net/> and Treehugger   <http://www.treehugger.com/files/2011/09/the-trash-tycoon-facebook-game-launches-today.php> is now open today  September 6th, 2011 to the public in beta form. I took the time to play and get familiar with the game and it is fun. The look and feel of the game is very similar to that of the other Tycoon games which is simple and colorful. You start out with a plot of land and you start cleaning up trash around the city and build recycling plants that turn the different refuse into upcycled products. Upcycled products are finished goods that come from the trash. Some examples of upcycling within Trash Tycoon:

1. If you build a worm farm you can then create and sell fertilizer from the organic waste you find
2. If you build a plastic extruder you can create items that are based in plastic such as toys and back packs
3. If you build  a paper recycling plant then you can create pencils and paper towels and other products
