Global Cooling - Absolut & Live Earth Campaign

While last year Italian designer Diesel featured their Global Warming Ready campaign, Absolut Vodka has kicked off 2008 with the Global Cooling campaign.

The Absolut Global Cooling campaign was launched in partnership with Live Earth and kicked off at the Sundance Film Festival.

The Absolut and Live Earth campaign is an initiative to get people thinking about the smaller changes they can make in their daily lives to help the planet.

They produced a series of short movies on climate crisis which will be shown at over 70 other film festivals in North American after their Sundance debut. Six of the videos can be seen here.

The “Every Sip Makes a Statement” campaign was also launched and will run throughout the year. Each bottle of Absolut has a code on it, and the company promises that for every bottle registered online, they will donate a dollar to an environmental charity of organization.
