Brief Explanation

Greenpeace wanted to persuade Hong Kong’s 380,000 drivers to stop polluting. We circulated the film on YouTube under a title: A four-member family commit suicide. At first the film ran with no advertising and no logos. After a week, we added a super: “Cars pump 3,000 tons of carbon dioxide into our air every day. Keep driving, who will suffer? Support Car Free Day on 22 Sept”. Within 24 hours, over 20,000 people watched and it led to police’s involvement. It makes senior government officials and Hong Kong Chief Executive, Donald Tsang, voiced their support and combating the climate crisis.
