</object> I haven’t been very kind to Greenpeace in the past, mainly because their campaigns lack humour and they come across as a bit self righteous. Well, I am happy to say that their latest campaign targeting Volkswagen – The Dark Side – is a little more relaxed. And is themed on Star Wars. And [...]

Regular readers will know we have featured the work of James Morgan here a couple of times this year. That is partly because his work is so compelling but also because he shows how photography and social awareness can work so well together without being images of doom & gloom. Fans of James’ work will [...]

‘Earth Hour‘ always seems to be riven with a deep irony here in Nepal as most of the time we don’t have any electricity to turn the lights on anyway, let alone be able to symbolically turn them off. This video combines inspiring U2-eque music with global village images to try and persuade us that [...]

Groupon (a company that uses group buying to acquire discounts on consumer purchases) has caused offence to some with the ad it aired during the Super Bowl on 6 Feb. This is not the first time the company has touched a few nerves. This one on whales didn’t go down too well either. The ads [...]

Regular readers will know by now I am not overly impressed with Greenpeace’s frankly rather tired activism (or at least their countless videos of them hanging off stuff). Well, early in 2011 they have surpassed themselves with this, possible the most boring, not to mention bewildering campaigning video I have ever seen. OK, I know [...]
