One day there will be a marvelous signature here. For the moment there is this.

Actually, some people 'culturally' do that, in some oriental countries. Part of religion.

To be myself

I think it's a great idea!

It's a good way of illustrating the results of consumption on the eco-system.

Works for me

Thanks Greenpeace! you tell me i kill trees and hurt the environment when I take a dump by printing (4C) on millions of toiletpapers? That must be so clever i don't get it!

besides its badly branded. basically youre wiping your ass with the logo.
Its like putting your logo on a welcome matt

No. It's worse than putting your logo on a welcome mat.

It was a dumb move for the agency to suggest to a client that they advertise a conservation message using a medium that is the single biggest waster of the resource you're trying to protect.

It was a even dumber move for whomever at Greenpeace approved it. It's kind of like all the WWF rain forest ads that have been showing up in print lately.

that alone causes this ad to do more harm then good

Well, I guess the fact is that these turd creatives never shown this turd idea to Greenpeace before, neither getting their approval. I'm sure Greenpeace China would not approve this.

Hmmn, maybe someone should send his link to Greenpeace China and get this turd creative sued or blacklisted from the ad industry?

it's called recycled toilet paper people - you can get is at any grocery store. i don't think they'd be stupid enough to print on virgin pulp toilet paper. in canada, all greenpeace printed material uses vegetable based inks and recycled paper.

nemesis's picture 633 pencils

so what they're basically telling us is that we can't wipe our asses with toilet paper, but they can use it to print their ad?
oh, the hypocrisy!

doworkson's picture 242 pencils

something smells here.

BReal's picture

Clever how you "cut the trees down" by tearing each piece, but a terrible ad.

cp's picture 288 pencils

I think its a novel idea that communicates the message in a rather funny, at an awkward moment. Those wiping their asses will most likely chuckle and get the msg.

I don't think they need to print on every sheet of the paper.

Precious paper, use both sides.

Dumbest ad eva.
Billions of trees gone down the drain.

Get a life and try harder!

I said 'Wooo-hooo.' Happy now?

puppiepoppy's picture 1528 pencils

This smells like a scam!

I guess these creatives never go to the toilet before (that's why they're full of shit!). If they do, they would have realised that we don't put toilet rolls into the paper dispenser. Toilet rolls are for ass only, and not for wiping hands.

I wonder how many people think "oh nice! Greenpeace paper with little trees on it! looks really good for the environment!" never underestimate the power of stupidity.

Why didn't they print the trees upside down anyway? that way you would at least leave stumbs

addyhoch10's picture 2603 pencils

you got a point. besides the fact they're ruining the environment and the toilet paper producer they're cooperating with there's one big problem:
how many people will get the felling idea?
to be honest, if i would see this in reality, i wouldn't even suspect this containing such a clever message. i'd think it's just some sort of eco-friendly greenpeace paper.
it's easy to get when it's on an ad site. but most people wouldn't get it when they're busy with other things.

dynatop's picture 212 pencils

definitely fake, the stainless tissue box is not for rolls but folded one by one paper. sorry for my english.
