Simple, you originally clicked to fill up a bucket and dump it. Now you have to meet a quota with the amount of buckets you fill up. You get assigned to a building that has a leak in it. If you do not fill up the buckets quick enough, the building will flood before your coworkers fix the leak. Continue this and you will get tougher jobs that are longer but pay out quicker.

Similar to how there was a race to the moon lets say, each country is racing to find a way to end climate problems. However, some countries try to take shortcuts and end up hurting the Earth rather than fixing it.
5-Energy Crisis
Creating new ways to use energy is revolutionary. Many for the better, some are for the worse. Your goal is to make society grow without having any negative effects.
