Animals Save the Planet

Astp_icon_jellyfish A friend of mine sent me a link to animalssavetheplanet.com This is a delightful site that is filled with little videos of animated animals working to save the planet. The humor may be a little irreverent for some but it helps to make the videos lighthearted. I believe that these were created as a series of Public Service Announcements (PSAs) that ran on the British Animal Planet network.

The messages are sound and the presentation is quite clever. A jellyfish performs an aquatic waltz with a plastic bag to teach about pollution. A hippo provides guidance on water conservation after being reprimanded for taking too long of a shower, and many other creatures find ways to pass on lessons from energy conservation to limiting consumption. I found these PSAs to be a nice addition to educational materials about conservation.
