Joe Jonas joins PlanetPlay’s Make Green Tuesday Moves gaming initiative



Pop star Joe Jonas has joined PlanetPlay‘s Make Green Tuesday Moves, an initiative of raising environmental awareness through gaming.

The entertainer who started his career with the Jonas Brothers is now joining a group of game companies and influencers to inspire, educate, and mobilize players to support our planet and its rich diversity of life. The idea is to turn passion for video games into positive action for a healthier planet.

Starting today, dozens of smash hit games are launching exclusive characters, skins, badges and other items featuring Jonas for players to download, with all proceeds invested into fully certified sustainability projects by PlanetPlay’s eco-donate platform, including reforestation, renewable energy, and ocean cleanups.

Jonas is the latest MGTM Star of the Month, supported by a massive social media campaign, inspiring gamers worldwide to Make Green Moves. He joins Hollywood icon David ‘The Hoff’ Hasselhoff, who was July’s Star of the Month, as part of the MGTM community. Jonas made a video about his own move.
