Britain launched ad to draw attention to climate problem

Saturday 31 October 2009

The NYTimes.com calls it a ‘guilt-laden’ spot that aims at pursuing the public to take action and contribute positively towards solving the climate problem.

The television spot shows a father who is reading is young daughter a bedtime story. He tells her all about the negative consequences of climate change, and she wonders whether or not there actually is a happy ending. Then, the voice-over says that “it is up to us to see how the story ends. See what you can do.” According to a spokeswoman for the Department of Energy and Climate Change, that was responsible for the spot, a commercial like this was necessary to make people understand that climate change can and will affect them and their children, and that it is not a far off thing.

Of course, the commercial is not just meant to scare people off, and to let them know what harm climate change can do. It is meant to activate people and to let them think about what they can do. Climate change is something global, but everyone can actually make a difference. It is important to know that fighting climate change does not always have to be expensive. In many cases, taking better care of the environment is very rewarding.
