Rising tide

Global warming, coming to a phone pole near you.

The David Suzuki Foundation wanted to create awareness about the effects of global warming on our environment amongst Vancouverites skeptical about its authenticity. So, it enlisted Vancouver-based Spring Advertising to get them to visualize the effects on their own environment. To do that, Spring set up three-dimensional tide lines attached to city telephone poles in downtown Vancouver using a number of recycled mussel shells and fake barnacles fastened to vinyl prints. They were accompanied by street signs reading, ‘Global warming is closer than you think.’ Check out a video about the project on Spring’s YouTube channel.
