Do environmental ads work?

Has Environmental Advertising Gone Too Far?

While looking for images for my previous Kleenex post, I found some interesting advertisements done by GreenPeace and other environmental advocate groups. Often, these advertisements paint a grim picture of current decaying landscapes or a future view. I thought it was ironic that Kleenex promotes a "feel" campaign when most of their resources for paper products come from leveling ancient forests. Here are some grim examples of environmental advertising.These ads are for promoting clean air and auto emissions. Environmental advertising is raising its own brand of controversy. How far will we go to protect our environment and place blame on the large commercial businesses and manufacturers?Comments:

These are some very interesting examples. The grim nature of advertisements for environmental policy must be this bleak because our situation is a desperate one. No one would pay attention if the pictures weren't in some way shocking.

I never really trust those Green Peace claims, because they never seem to have to back anything up. 90 years for a box of Kleenex? Please, name an alternative, I bet even the perfectionists of Green Peace blow their nose with a Kleenex when its running. I do agree with the smog and traffic problems of the big cities. It will be interesting to see what anyone can do about that. If I were a big Green Peace guy I think I would quit complaining about the little things and start focusing on something that someone can do about.
