Notes: | Germans are some of the best sorters of rubbish in the world, but well under 30% of our plastic is recycled. Rather than dealing with our own trash, Germany is the third biggest exporter of plastic waste (behind the USA and Japan) to countries in South East Asia. The ocean plastic problem goes far deeper than anything previously imagined. The problem is so bad that new deep-sea species are being found already contaminated by plastic. When you find a new species you get to give it a name. To highlight that our ocean plastic problem goes deep, we named a new deep-sea species after the plastic found inside its body - Eurythenes plasticus. This idea is the culmination of over one and a half years of collaboration together with world renowned marine ecologist Dr Alan Jamieson from Newcastle University. The campaign launched on 05.03.20 with the official publication of the Scientific Manuscript, creating history and making Eurythenes plasticus officially part of our planet’s taxonomic record. Within hours, a worldwide conversation had ignited over the extent of the plastic pollution in our oceans in over forty countries. Following the publication of the new species, we rolled out a cross-platform campaign (paid social, OOH, digital OOH, cinema) that encouraged people to sign a petition asking for a legally binding global UN agreement to put an end to marine plastic pollution. This cross over of advertising and science enabled us to eternalize the idea by partnering with national and international museums – including the Smithsonian – to permanently display the new species as an educative awakening for the conservation of our oceans. |
