Global Warming Reminder
We all know the global warming is a fact, but what most people don’t know is that “dirty snow” is a crucial contributor to global warming. Researchers have measured how snowy landscapes tainted by carbon particles created from inefficiently burned fuels, vehicles’ emissions and forest fires are absorbing more of the sun’s heat than the less sooty snow normally found in the arctic. Findings also indicate dirty snow is responsible for at least 20% of global warming.
Meltain is an eraser to remind us how significant effect dirty snow is on the melting arctic regions. To alleviate global warming is everyone’s duty; cutting down carbon emissions as well as using environmental-friendly energy can all lighten the color of snow and slow down the speed of global warming to normal levels.

now really, who would buy this?!
1. somebody who cares about the environment -> doesn’t need to be reminded
2. as a gift for somebody who doesn’t care about the environment -> they won’t like the gift
3. somebody who just needs an eraser
I feel this is might be a bit too pretentious. Caring about mother nature should be rewarding, not annoying!
Sam says
But I think the concept is pretty awesome.

I did so year ago with a cutter and I don’t have the idea to sell it using global warming…

Get free carbon offsets to squash that global warming guilt down into a pea-sized ball:

20%? 20%?? 20%???
Where do these numbers come from? Really. 20%? I’m not going to get started on the global warming issue.
Nancy says
Wow! brilliant idea, I like it!
Chris2046 says

paul sandip says
use-less idea!
zuy says
useless design is responsible of global warning
Pop says
this idea is superb. One of the best green promotion product.
Al says
I like it. Sometimes design indeed can be reminders rather than practically problem-solving; that’s another form of design power…
terrordrone says
