Hey, that's a good idea. You give the students actual wood stoves, and they'll cause global warming, and then they'll die when they're adults. That'll help illustrate the concept in a way that a simulated world can't.

Wood stoves are carbon neutral.

Not compared with not burning the wood, but using it in something like construction, where the carbon dioxide remains locked up [0]

Diamond stoves lock up even more carbon, and are much harder to break! (Minecraft joke! ;)

Their lifespans would actually be prolonged by the obesity they don't have. The atmosphere will even out because of the computer power they're not using.

Their lifespans would probably be shorter because breathing in that much smoke causes cancer at significantly high rates.

You’re being downvoted but your idea has merit. Getting our kids outside in the world will be much better for their understanding it than sitting behind a screen in an air conditioned room playing a video game.

Now theres an interesting idea for a park, minecraft in real life!

Schools can both allow some educational gaming and real-world digging, it doesn't have to be one or the other.
