SEE ONCE, THINK TWICE, DO THREE TIMES MORE!

Recently I have found this very interesting article – 50 Creative WWF Campaigns That Make You Think Twice. It represents the gallery of the most creative, powerful, and eye-catching advertising posters created and released by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), previously known as the World Wildlife Fund.


WWF is an international NGO working on issues of conservation, research and restoration of the environment. It is considered to be the world’s largest independent conservation organization that operates in more than 90 countries.


The advertisements presented in the article are aimed to raise awareness of the global environmental issues and promote sustainable approach to living on the planet Earth and using its resources. The variety of issues displayed on the posters is quite large: global warming, energy efficiency, conservation and protection of wildlife, recycling, deforestation, toxic waste, and others.
Here is an example of such posters advertising the event “Earth Hour” and energy efficiency:

NO MORE AMBITION... TIME FOR ACTION!

Recently July 29th has become one of the significant dates in my calendar. It is on this date this year the first off-line presentation of my major idea related to the environment protection – the BioSciences Research Centre (BSRC) – took place.


The event happened in the city of Craiova (Romania), where I had been in my internship as a trainer within the ecological project “Learn to Change the Future 2009” (more information about the internship experience can be found on the blog “The X Worlds 3D”). The audience consisted of about 20 project participants – last year pupils from the schools and lyceums in Craiova, some organizing committee members, and a representative of the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) in Romania.
However, during my stay in the neighbouring Romania I had not limited to a single presentation. On August 1st another one took place in Timisoara, the city I had visited in order to deliver sessions on “Earth Degradation” and “Urbanization” for the AIESEC Timisoara members and other interested persons.


In spite of the fact that few people expressed their interest in BSRC, I still consider both presentations to be successful. It is because their purpose was for me to practice presenting the idea of the Centre and gain self-assurance and persuasion skills – the support I will require for the presentation of BSRC to potential investors in the nearby future. Nevertheless, several contacts have been obtained, indicating the start of the networking element of the BSRC establishment process.


From now on there is no way back!
No more hesitation, no more fear, no more ambition…
It is time for ACTION!
