TBWA\Kuala Lumpur launches climate change campaign for GreenLife CSR
Climatic changes are affecting the world and TBWA\Kuala Lumpur recently launched a viral video and poster campaign for GreenLife CSR to educate the masses.
The viral videos entitled “Lumberjack” and “Heavy Traffic” explain the causes of global warming, specifically deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles. Since these viral videos are meant for YouTube, the agency used the red loading bar as a thermometer and the temperature rises as the videos of deforestation and heavy traffic progress.
The poster campaign (pictured below) revolves around the effects of climatic changes particularly on rising sea levels. The posters show Japan and Australia but upon closer inspection, the countries have turned smaller due to the rising sea.
“Sea levels rise at an average rate of about 3.3 + 0.4mm per year, ” Hoslo Jiwa of GreenLife CSR says. “But in 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) projected that in the 21st century, sea level will rise another 18 to 59cm and if the ice cap melts, 4 to 6m.”

Done by some kid at the Cannes young lions competition some years ago, but in a more much simpler and surprising way.
NICE…
Wow… a copy of a submission for a Cannes YouTube Challenge a couple of years ago. Anything original?
Is any tree harmed during the making of the commercial?
Really?! Go ahead and post the links. Prove it or forever hold your peace. Cheers!
Did they harm any tree during the making of the commercial? Can’t you tell the video was from stocks? If anything, they actually saved a tree by using existing video.
Not sure why mini-Australia has become so much lusher from the air than the actual country is? Bit of a contradiction if your messaging is about deforestation. The retoucher should have been given a different image to make “Australia” out of.
Start by looking at this:
