The car industry on regular basis violates advertising regulations by not mentioning the amount of CO2-emission of the respective cars in their ads.In original language:SUV-Banner Eisbär WienZehn Greenpeace-Aktivisten kletterten heute früh auf das alte Uniqua-Gebäude gegen¬¬¬über der Urania, um die dort angebrachte, überdimensionale Autowerbung zu vervoll¬ständigen: Ein dreißig Quadratmeter großes Transparent mit der Aufschrift „Solche Autos töten Eisbären!“ verdeckt nun einen Teil des ursprünglichen Werbeplakats, das ein massiv CO2-emittierendes Modell eines Volvo zeigt. Mit ihrer Protestaktion weisen die Umwelt-Aktivisten auf die regelmäßigen Verstöße der Auto¬¬¬industrie gegen geltende Werbegesetze hin: „Um den Konsumenten die Möglichkeit zu geben, einigermaßen umweltverträgliche Autos zu kaufen, sind Treibstoffverbrauch und CO2-Emissionen in Autowerbungen anzuführen“, erläutert Greenpeace-Sprecher Niklas Schinerl.Locations:Austria-Central Europe-ViennaDate:17 Mar, 2008Credit:© Greenpeace / Ingrid FankhauserMaximum size:3504px X 2336pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Advertising signs-Air pollution-Automotive industry-Banners-Billboards-Cars-Climate (campaign title)-Climate change-Climbing actions-Exhaust gas-KWCI (GPI)-Trams-Urban areasShoot:Action against Fuel Inefficient Cars in AustriaGreenpeace activists climb the former Uniqua-building in Vienna whose façade is covered with a huge advertisement of a Volvo model that has a very high CO2-emission.
