Another Approach To Persuasion



                  Another Approach To Persuasion
A commercial I’m seeing a lot of is a good example of a new approach to an old message. The message: “recycle”. The new approach, rather than showing the bad consequences of not recycling, was to humanize the thing to be recycled, along with the human reason to do it. It shows a plastic bottle drifting along on the street until someone picks it up and puts it in a recycling bin. (It always wanted to see the ocean). The next scene shows it as a bench overlooking the sea. The message of the ad is: “Give your garbage a new life. Recycle.”
