Commissioned by Discovery Networks EMEA, and created by Jellyfish Pictures, the film is an animated time lapse following the decomposition of a tin can over 50 years, depicting the impact of failing to recycle rubbish.

@taj561 Man, not altitude for shure! I live in sea level…2 to 10 meters above sea level. Porto city in Portugal….there is no snow here because of the sea currents! But something, somehow is changing…
oh so cans ARE bio-degradable!
bullsheet
Thumbs down? Well, yesterday, a city from the south of Brazil, hit the highest minumum temperature ever! Thumb it down again!
hi folks, glad you like the advert and that you can all enjoy it and argue about it at the same time.
Oh yeh…and soda cans dont rust – unless they are from the 70′s and made from steel….thats my excuse anyway.
I worked on the vfx and have (finally) gotten around to posting up some making of videos.
look up the videos in my vid section
This whole “Carbon Footprint” debate is just hokum. They want you to recycle. Thats it. Nothing to do with global warming.
If they really wanted to correct the carbon imbalance in the biosphere then more trees would have been planted.
We (the human race) produce less than 6% of the carbon dioxide generated globally. The issue is the planets innability to soak up the greenhouse gasses due to deforestation.
However it may already be too late to correct it anyway.
Ah well have a beer.
Who is behind,and paying for recycling advertising? Companies that make a profit on it,that’s who. What is 50 years in our planets existence? Don’t answer that because i know,it’s a drop in the Grand Canyon..
@grabedigger Don’tyou know that’s all part of “Global Warming”?”Global Cooling”!! Yeah….Ahhh? Thats how it starts..Daaaa? Gotta get cold,Ahhh? before it gets,AHHH? Warm???
i dont have a carbon footprint, i drive everywhere.
@grabedigger: saberia me dizer qual cidade que foi? Seria Curitiba?
NIce CG, but some things don’t make much sense IMO. The lighting changes are awkward and the road stripe is restored a few times under the can, so how could it stand in this spot for so long?
@AdeonC Meu caro, não sei qual foi a cidade, eu vejo a TV Record aqui em Portugal. Quando puder, veja o que aconteceu na Ilha da Madeira, mais um belo exemplo. See what happened on Madeira Island, a great example!
I like helping nature while recycling, but sometimes I’m too lazy to do it. :/
@Jabbot123 50 years??? is that all it takes for a tin can to recycle itself? how much energy is wasted by humans to recycle them??? i guess im going to stop recycling.
WOW that was 50 years ahhh i willl recycle *holds hand in air epicly*
how is oxygen made?
i agree with you. You have a point about what you said about trees and all that but still, human being has a respnsability of doing an effort for global warming. Even if we produce less than 6% of the carbon dioxide (which I’m sure is way more) we have to react. Saying “yeah whatever, it’s not our fault, so I’m not gonna care” is the problem. People have the ability of doing something so I think they must do it, don’t you think?
@TheMargo07 Yes I agree. It would be prudent to cobnsider trying to balance the carbon build up in the environment. However I am sceptical of governments telling us what we should do. Remember the “Millenium Bug” and other great money makers? I’m not saying do nothing. I’m saying do the correct thing.
There is a saying: Believe nothing. No matter where you read it or who has said it, not even if I have said it. Unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
Here’s how you spell propaganda:

Gore’s Carbon Print is the size of King Kong’s with Diahrea, which reveals how much he believes his and his banking business backers own AGW BS
This video is so cool, i actually made a video about what could happen if the world were to get so polluted! Check it out, but don’t expect too much, nice video btw!
my goal is to have the mostest biggest largest cabon footprint in the world. i eat cow meat, i eat spicy foot and pass methane gas, i drive a diesel pickup truck from the 80′s that has black smoke ! i shall be the king of carbon and you cannot stop me unless you murder me and that shall never happen ! death to planet earth ! ha ha ha !
@RoyVanNistelrooij well 50 years is half of our life times though but true
@Bladescope its 500$ in most parts of Ontario Canada.
you’re telling me no one picked up that can for a year?
