those are pretty strong images. I think it would be hard to look at them and not think or feel anything. I could see the french one being displayed in the metros (next to the galleries lafayette and bon marche ads?). seeing them on your daily commute would certainly help you remember to recycle, etc.

Love 'em. The Tarzan one is funny. The environment can be a depressing issue and you need some humor sometimes.
