Could video games help us solve some real world issues?
Playstation has a game on it called "Dreams" where you can create any kind of world and scenario as long as you are smart enough.
A game called "Pick up Quick" has been launched in "Dreams" by Sustainable Coastlines as part of its litter intelligence project where real life coastlines have been created and you have to help get litter off the beaches.
It's designed to showcase the real world problem and think about how best to solve it.
Co-founder of sustainable coastlines and the litter intelligence programme Camden Howitt joins Mike Hosking to talk about the game.
