Environmental safety is very important right now, because as a global community we are burning so much fossil fuels into our atmosphere. So many people know the impacts of global warming and pollution, so there are many campaigns trying advocate people of these prevalent issues. However, often times public service announcements and ad campaigns can be boring. But I found one that is catchy and entertaining, and a little funny, but still gets the point across. They equate the 6.1 billion tons of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to how many elephants…which would be a whopping 1.2 billion! They show all these elephants falling on a polluted urban city, then they end the commercial with, "It's time to stop ignoring the 1.2 billion elephants in the room." I thought this was a great ending, because it ties in why they decided to use elephants as their equivalent to pollution by using a common saying.
