Preserve Your World. Preserve Yourself.

A television ad by the National Wildlife Federation is promoting clean air to protect polar bears and wildlife, help our economy, and to protect our health as well. This video uses images that evoke our sympathetic emotion to respond to the commercial in the way they want and to support a greener economy. By showing pictures such as a polar bear stranded on a small iceberg, implying that our effect on the environment is what is causing that polar bear to be stranded makes us feel like its our fault and that we need to do something about it. Saying that it promotes the production of more jobs during a time when people are really looking for jobs also helps their point. And if animals or jobs don’t spark your interest in helping, they also included the affect it has on our health and on innocent babies. They used every trick in the book to evict emotion and if that doesn’t get you to feel sympathetic towards the cause, I don’t know what will.
