Inspiring Eco Ad Campaign: 1 Coach Bus for 50 Cars

Having the goal of motivating car drivers to take a coach bus, Acne, a Sweden-based advertising company, came up with a quite inspiring advertising campaign for an airport coach bus service called Flygbussarna.

The company built a bus from 50 wrecked vehicles. The bus resembles the original Flygbussarna coach bus and was placed near the main road that leads to the Stockholm airport.

With their installation, the Swedish company attempts to focus on the fact that 50 people can ride in a coach bus, while, in average, 1.2 people ride in a car. It is worth mentioning that a coach bus emits carbon less than 4 vehicles.

On the company's website visitors can watch live the installation and vehicles that drive by. In addition, you can see the amount of carbon that could have been saved if the drivers that passed the installation had taken a bus.

Here's the video that helps you get a better idea of Acne's advertising campaign:

Water is absolutely the most important thing, but simply praising it won't do much good, I think! Though it is also important, so that people know that there exists this problem of lack of water in some countries.

The Impact of Energy Drinks on Health

STEVE, I completely agree with you... although I don't think that all the students consume EDs only because they "study at night".. I think most of them just have to party all night and then they have to be in good shape for the classes... However, I'm sure many students try to combine partying and studying, so that they don't fall out with the lectures and still get some private life during the golden college years. I drink EDs, but very very and extremely seldom, only when I really need to wake up... and I need this especially after lunch, you know, when the food hits you like a hammer, and you just need to get a nap :) stay in shape, people!

"Experts suggest using timing systems to replicated natural blinking patterns. " I don't think this would be the solution for substituting natural blinking... I mean, we blink more frequently, when the environment requires it, when the air is try, probably, so that the eye remains wet.. and we blink more rarely when the surrounding humidity is high... to substitute natural blinking, the scientists will have to attach dozens of external sensors to transmit data about the environment to the muscle... but it's a great medical breakthrough nevertheless! sometimes I really regret that I won't live in 2300 to see what else the humanity will invent....to destroy the planet..
