Time Cover - Global Warming

Time Magazine's latest cover image is causing some controversy. Not going to share my thoughts but I would like to quote some interesting comments made about the use of this image by Time and their article on How to wi the war on Global Warming.

Below is the quote:
"That global warming is the biggest joke I’ve ever known," Wells told the Business & Media Institute. Donald Mates, also identified as an Iwo Jima veteran, told the publication, "It’s an absolute disgrace."
"Whoever did it is going to hell. That’s a mortal sin. God forbid he runs into a Marine that was an Iwo Jima survivor," he said.
"The Second World War we knew was there," Mates said. "There’s a big discussion. Some say there is global warming, some say there isn’t. And to stick a tree in place of a flag on the Iwo Jima picture is just sacrilegious."
The magazine credited the photo-illustration to Arthur Hochstein, "including an Iwo Jima photograph by Joe Rosenthal."

Green Advertising May Not Always Be Pretty - But It Can Be Effective

The Greenfamily Youth Association of Environment Protection and their advertising agency came up with this idea of pollution awareness. The scheme was to erect a board on a drainage hole, meaning dirty water is like egesta. They wanted to arouse people's caution about environment protection through strong visual impact of psychological or even physical aversion.Be sure to enlarge the image to get the full effect.
