The activists cover part of the ad with a panel reading “These cars kill polar bears!” to complete the content the way it is supposed to be. 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.
