“If a Tree Falls in the Forest…”

Deforestation, like so many other slow moving environmental disasters – global warming, species loss, urban sprawl – doesn’t have an awareness problem. Nope, it suffers from a ‘how does this affect me?’ issue. And a ‘why now?’ prioritization problem.

Timberland wanted us to imagine a life without trees. We may not all be in the forest, listening for the sound – bearing witness – when a clear cut occurs, but we can all imagine a world without trees.

“If a trees falls in the forest, and there’s no one around to hear it, does it make it sound?”

Yes it does… It sounds like this:

For the duration of the UN Conference on Climate Change, Found Object Films was sponsored by Timberland Earthkeepers to make film content for their website. Together with correspondent Olivia Zaleski, we tackled everything in our dispatches from youth activities to demonstrations to the inside the conference hall negotiating sessions.

Our piece on the demonstrations has garnered 26,000 views as of this writing, and put Timberland Earthkeeper as the #1 Sponsor Channel on YouTube for two days running, beating out Avatar and Coke, two heavily advertised underwrites.

“See You in Copenhagen” is a campaign of short films and ads produced by Found Object Films, in cooperation with the UN Foundation and tcktcktck.org to raise public awareness and support civic engagement in advance of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 15) in Copenhagen, Denmark. The campaign launches at Climate Week NYC and will culminate at COP 15 this December.

The short films and ads feature real-life people whose stories are each a piece of the Climate Change ‘policy puzzle’: a Nobel Peace Prize-winning scientist, a green industry leader, a grassroots activist and a UN negotiator. Through these portraits, we – as an audience and as participants in the climate change discourse – come to understand what is at stake, what the different roles are in this complex UN negotiation, and what is possible.
