commercials
What is the example of effective climate change communication? (Briefly describe; add links)
Planet Green's series of commercials - hilarious and a tad risque - make "environmentally friendly" look like something you'd actually want to watch.
What makes this example effective?
Lots of humor.
How might this example be relevant to other climate change communication initiatives?
Behavior change campaigns frequently involve a two-step process: engaging people, and then directing them to more information. These ads do nothing if not engage.
