Cue Sarah McLachlan or other sappy emotional music to tug on your heartstrings.
We have all seen those commercials for the ASPCA protecting animals or the commercials requesting a dollar a day to help feed starving children. Though these commercials may be obnoxious or annoying, we know what they are about and their goal. Though we may not pick up the phone right away to help, we have an awareness as to what we could do to help. We may be aware of pollution, but the effects are not shoved down our throats. There is no sappy commercial telling us how we can make a difference. Maybe that’s a good thing, maybe that’s a bad thing. But maybe if we were aware of our individual effects in regards to pollution we would be apt to do something. Something that sticks in our minds with an obnoxious commercial would make us peripherally aware of how we can effect pollution and global warming.
