A friend posted a link on Facebook to a page of 40 powerful social issue adverts. I have picked out the environmental ones and posted them here, I find them shocking and thought provoking, even for someone who already has vested interests in helping our environment and its biodiversity. I think they are really brilliant as they truly capture the inherent wrong of some of our actions and help to open our eyes to issues we tend not to think about in our everyday lives.

| I have posted a video about this in one of my previous posts (Feb 2013, 'We are killing nature... It is time we stopped'), please check it out. This happens on a small island where tons of plastic from the sea ends up settling here. The seagulls eat the plastic until it kills them, this photo shows just how much they consume. |

| When You See a Tuna, Think Panda. ...This is similar to a poster WWF did, with a tuna fish wearing a panda mask. Tuna are seriously under threat from unsustainable overfishing. As a terrestrial species we struggle to identify with them, and therefore tend to have little interest in their plight. Tuna are just as important as any other species on our planet. |
