Subvertisement

Subvertisement

For my subvertisment I chose to use the very popular Coca Cola polar bear. Pollution is causing ever increasing problems around the globe. There are so many different forms of life on earth, and I think that it is sad that for many of these species, their ways of life are being threatened by just human laziness and over consumption. Coke is a huge company that sells products everywhere, to pretty much everyone. People buy bottles and bottles of Coke every year, and the amount of those bottles that are recycled is much lower than it could be. Recycling is so easy- yet people continue to thoughtlessly throw away their bottles instead. These bottles can end up in the ocean, threatening the lives of the hundreds of thousands of species that make their homes there. I specifically focused on the polar bears, pollution leading to an increase in greenhouse gasses, leading to increased global temperatures, leading to the melting of the polar ice caps, threatening the polar bears way of life. But really, pollution, of Coke bottles, of anything, effects every species on the planet. In my subvertisement there is a picture of a child, someone we will leave the earth to, pealing back a layer of the ocean that shows just where so many of these bottles end up. There is also a picture of polar bears standing on a melting SOS, which is pretty self explanatory. But the message is, we had better 'enjoy coke' while we still can- because at the rate we are going with 'enjoying it' and the consequences of that enjoyment- we might, along with other forms of life on Earth, might not have a lot of time left. Unless we change our ways things are going to start- continue- to change, and not for the better.
