Set An Example



Every person is responsible for all the natural resources that make up our environment; if you want to help recycle, then you have to take things into your own hands and create an example for other people to follow. People can recycle aluminum, to paper, to glass, to plastic, to used cars, to even used oil. The ad sets a statement that recycling helps clean out our environment and most of the actions that we do will affect our community as a whole; the man in the video didn’t seem to care and was littering his trash throughout his day. The funny part is that most of the time the trash bin is right there and he couldn’t even take a second to toss it out in the right spot. Recycling paper is also beneficial since it costs less to recycle it than to create new paper from trees; it is good for the environment since the production of new paper uses more chemicals and energy. Recycling paper saves forests, but it also conserves electricity, water, and air pollution; you need the will and determination to help others and yourself to provide a sanitary atmosphere. At the end of the ad, it said recycle or your bad habits will catch up with you; I believe that each individual cannot completely make a difference in our community, but if we had everyone followed each other’s actions, we are able to change the world together.

Ha! That's a really good ad! One of my personal pet-peeves is littering. Someone ones told me that "we live in the filth we produce". I love how the garbage hits him in the face when it catches up to him.

LITTER IS RETIALIATING! :D I noticed that every time he threw the his trash it was near a garbage can. I kind of got the impression that the trash can may be near us and yet we still disregard it and litter. There was no effort to even throw the trash in the garbage can, this action expresses how most of the litter is on the ground to begin with. Much of littering has to do with the fact that most people don't want to hold on to it until they get near a trash can but in reality its worth it in order to clean our environment clean.

It's amazing ad because I feel so bad personally if I throw something on the street because there's people behind me who are trying hard to keep their areas clean and there are people who really care about the environment.

This is a great commercial. i like how in the end it says the if you don't recycle it will catch up to you. maybe not in the sense the commercial depicts where the garbage goes all over the person who is littering but for our health and well being. if everyone does their part in recycling today it will benefit us in the long run. Whether it be our clean environment or our own health and well being it will benefit us.

Jeffrey I agree with you; if Al Gore was elected instead of Bush, we probably wouldn't have as much of an environmental problem, among other disasters that this administration has not been able to deal with. This is an effective ad because it shows how eventually our bad habits will catch up with us. The message of the ad is that if we continue to be irresponsible about littering and pollution, it will be detrimental to our society in the future. Global warming is a serious issue so it's an excellent way to target younger people in particular who are the future to be proactive about it.
