Animation for the Earth

Animation For Earth - Green Villages

There was once a time when all of life’s moral advice came via the art of animation. (I think this time was around 1989, when Care Bears dominated the airwaves and all our problems could be solved via our furry friends in the clouds). Though that time has passed, there is new animated hope on the horizon thanks to Green Villages Sydney. We’re loving their clever Seed to Plate and Chemical Free Home animations, demonstrating the ecological impacts of (and solutions to!) hefty food miles and household waste in just one-and-a-half short, sweet minutes each. Speaking of impacts on the planet, don’t forget – WWF’s Earth Hour is tomorrow! Get those candles ready and check out Green Villages’ advice on how to take your contribution Beyond The Hour here .
