I was quietly minding my own business, sitting exhaustedly on a bench at Oxford Circus…(Jeeze! I can't take these 5 hour shopping sprees in my old age!!) when I looked up and saw this incredibly cute guy staring me in the face! Result!
Finally media attention is being drawn to the dwindling populations of Orangutans caused by 'shrinking habitats'. Although this BA advert didn't mention the part that the palm oil industry plays, it raises awareness and will hopefully lead to londoners and tourists finding out more about Orangutans and other endangered species!
After a long day of work, I decided to have a relaxing bath before I clambered into bed to drift off to sleep. My housemate had kindly left the Evening Standard in the bathroom so I thought I would have a little flick through, to update myself on the rollercoaster of events in the eurozone and the phone hacking scandal... I certainly didn't expect another encounter with the 'incredibly cute guy' from yesterday, especially seeing as they are such a rare species!! :-)
Well done BA for highlighting this issue!!!
Great Blog!!
ReplyDeleteLOL @ this! 'Cute' guy eh?
The advert is a little unusual... to fly, to serve; but not to protect...but like you said, if it garners more people into being interested on the topic, and becoming more commercially and environmentally aware of what they buy, it can only be a good thing right?
Thank you so much Dan!!!
ReplyDeleteI feel this advent can only provoke a good response. Raising awareness of habitat destruction is key, if you don't know, you certainly won't act in response!!!
