WWF:::The Impact on Global Climate Change"meltdown"

Most people only get to experience the Arctic region through nature programmes on TV, so the problem of Arctic warming is not something we are immediately aware of.

WWF wanted to make sure that ‘out of sight’ did not mean ‘out of mind’ by highlighting the risks of Arctic warming and show the direct effect of climate change in the Arctic on the whole planet. A major report compiled by WWF, entitled Arctic Feedbacks: The Impact on Global Climate Change, reveals that rapid retreat of ice could lead to the sea level rising by one metre in this century alone, threatening a quarter of the world’s population. Warming in the Arctic could also substantially increase carbon dioxide and methane emissions in the atmosphere as a great quantity of those gases are stored in the Arctic’s frozen soils or wetlands. WWF wanted to ensure that climate change was seen as a political priority for the months leading up to the United Nations Climate change conference in December.

To coincide with the release of the report, WWF teamed up with Brazilian artist Nele Azevedo to create 1,000 tiny ice sculptures of people. These were positioned on the steps of the music hall in Gendarmenmarkt public square in Berlin.

The sculptures began melting in 30 minutes, perfectly illustrating the impact of melting ice caps on humanity.

Salvation Army:::Cost Nothing Campaign

The world is changing in so many ways. The recent financial collapse has forced the consolidation of business in every segment of the market. This has led to far fewer businesses that are directly tied to local communities. It is also a tremendously difficult time for nonprofits to raise money. Just when communities need their services the most, many nonprofits have been forced to cut back because they face record budget shortfalls. Such was the case for The Salvation Army when they came to us for help.

Obviously they didn't have money for a big print or broadcast buy, so instead we turned to the community and harnessed the power of 50 local businesses. We wrote, painted, stamped and even burned our campaign messages onto everything from rocks, tarps and dirty car windshields to storefront windows, pizza boxes and coffee sleeves. We were everywhere. But this wasn't just powerful guerrilla marketing. The most important thing about this campaign was the community that came together to launch it.
Let's not forget that these are small businesses--very few with substantial marketing budgets--but they came together to create the first community campaign I've seen outside the realm of politics. And by harnessing the community's collective spirit the small became large. Huge actually.

I hope to see a lot more of this in the future. The good news is that, as long as the members of any community are willing to put aside their differences--which there will always be, and there were here--anyone can do this. And they can do it for the cause of their choice.
