Really cool ad.

Really good idea and execution.

Oh my, this is the best ad I've ever seen. I bet the creatives are super famous and really wealthy...I know I would pay good money to have this kind of talent working next to me. This is like the Guinness Surfer of print ads. Step aside Cannes Grand Prix, hello Nobel Peace Prize!!!!

Your moustache must smell of anus.

It's only advertising.

Ha ha ! Good one!

At last, a social and environmental campaign that does not include:

1. Malformed, burned, skeleton children
2. Images which, seen from a distance, remind you of something else
3. Bush

Very positive, very good campaign.

I like this a lot. A simple idea. And far less worthy than all the usual smarmy tree hugger ads.

It's only advertising.

KJP's picture 42 pencils

It's almost as though it hurts to see the next one...

There's too much beauty in this world...

Fresh approach for saving-the- planet ads. I really like this.

MCP's picture 191 pencils

This is the crappest ad I've ever seen. Ever.

RajToo's picture 95 pencils

Totally agree.

Angie-jude's picture 28 pencils

LOVE the guy's clothing, nice touch, that's what made me crack up after the initial smile. Very nice.

BachBern's picture 77 pencils

Nice art, i like the loser that actually is a hero.

teenquey's picture 296 pencils

This is a good one. But the rest of the prints are not...

jungle boy's picture 196 pencils

whats the point watering the plants after 6?
dint get that bit...

tominbrooklyn's picture 2 pencils

when you water after 6 pm (or after the sun goes down) more water will be absorbed by the plants and foliage rather than evaporate into the atmosphere.

GAGBALL DILDOHANDS's picture 1872 pencils

Depends where you are though? It'll make naff all difference where I live. Its always freezing and it always rains.

It's only advertising.
