Getting Green is more than just the color of your ad. Why bother if this is what you're going to do with your space. What if these full page ads and double spreads in the dailies taught us something? Compelled us to learn? Empowered us to get involved?

Absolutely. An intellectual & visual pollutant.

This ad is a total waste of natural resources by it self. I agree, poor design, no intrigue, no new information. The illustration is sooo unbelievably bad, those arrows, as if not to make the earth look better actually the arrows looks like an illustration of a pizza, sorry mr/ms designer don't see the "hidden" message behind this design!

Oh sorry. Wrong country - ur MP is useless. And it's not April Fool's!

What you can do is take a look at their program/plan and speak out. Blog it. Connect with the organizers and partners of the event and contribute to questions and solutions. Possibilty starts with a conversation.

Write to/meet with your MP.

Nadine... you pose great questions and yes going green is a mindset and a challenge. I know of only one person who actively recycles - and no its no tme :(.

I think if we start small- reuse our paper in the office, seperate our trash - even if its just for the guy who collects the cans, start small and then go bigger.

Really change has to start with us. One of my favorite quotes is "Be the change you want to see in the world"- Ghandi. Thats how I think we can affect change on any issue. But weven for that to happen we need awareness. A green page means nothing! Abillboard that says it is powered by solar energy is a good start- but what is the next stwep? Your questions are great. Maybe a petition to the green ad to involve the community? Apply for a grant to run the comming together of this community and find ways to make it happen? ... the possibilities are definetly endless. But where to start? What will the catalyst for change be?
