    Has anyone seen the new waste ads on RTE? Are they any good?

    Actually there are only 10 real rats in the ad and the rest are superimposed. My Fiance supplied them to the production company. Its a nice ad.

    Yes good adds but a complete waste of time.


    It's just the government yet again telling us that we are wrong and that it's our fault that the country has a land fill problem, it has nothing to do with the people running the country.

    You can hardly recycle in the country yet.

    The green bin is a step too late. IMO.

    I think the ads are a tad melodramatic myself, the drink driving ads are happier!

    I think they are the most sickening piece of 'pull the heartstrings' propeganda ever produced for Irish television. They're even worse than our recent spate of carcrash ads.

    'Won't somebody PLEASE think of the children!' :rolleyes:

    De gov can now say, we dun the ads, we dun de in sinner eaters, we dun de bin charges, we dun a lot, dun we not, aren't we grate.

    All we actually get is vacuous publicity efforts/campaigns, policy clangers (Irish Glass) and the worst solutions with no real attempt to really solve the problems by making any kinda 'best effort' first. E.g. the recent push for disposal by incineration is a sign of this type of failure when the real solutions to waste which need to be attempted first are simple: getting/forcing everybody to reduce, reuse and recycle and shafting those who don't. It's the implementation which is hard and we're already over a decade behind our previous targets. We really need a shift in our state of mind towards something like the german attitude. Gotta stop now.
