Leo Burnett: Space Monkey

Good morning, SuperForest!

What do you get when you combine space exploration and equal parts of creepy looking chimp and Ben Lee’s breathtaking “Song for the Divine Mother of the Universe”? You get the World Wildlife Fund’s moving conservation campaign by Leo Burnett featuring the “first simian in space” and his return to planet earth.

They’re not really telling us anything we don’t already know, but it’s definitely food for thought (and the song was kind of awesome).

As a side note: If you are itching for something space-related that will really get you thinking, watch Moon.

I love this idea! The WWF aims at reducing the use of paper towels in public toilets.  I prefer ” the old style,” meaning using an actual handkerchief :)

Love, E.

Turn off your lights for Earth Hour!

“In 2007, 2.2 million people took part in the world’s first Earth Hour in Sydney Australia. Just one year later, 50 million people in 370 cities and towns, in more than 35 countries worldwide switched off their lights for Earth Hour.

Earth Hour 2009 aims to reach more than one billion people in 1000 cities around the world, inviting communities, business and governments to switch off lights for one hour at 8:30pm on Saturday March 28 and sending a powerful global message that we care enough about climate change to take action.”

Upon registration, the WWF (the organizers of this event) will send a letter to our lawmakers letting them know how many people are participating and care about our environment. 

Thanks for the heads up OZOLife! 

Here’s more info at earthhour.org.

I like the idea of this being organized more often, maybe once a month? I’m sure the impact on the world’s energy consumption would be significant and once a year is a great place to start! Brings back great memories of the NYC Blackout of 2003.

Happy Friday!
