Greenpeace's Origami Whale

Posted on May 29, 2008 Under Design

Those folks at Greenpeace have come up with a new ad campaign aimed at stopping whaling with a sly swipe at the Japanese for their legalization practices. Users can go to their website and make a traditional “paper” origami whale. You must sign your name for a petition (as an Australian citizen, use post code 3000) for the Prime Minister of Japan before making your whale, but after that it is all fun. You get to chose the design elements and even the sounds the whale makes, then the website folds it for you — which instantly makes this better than the origami swans we all tried to make in second grade. Consider the above whale a little gift from JoshSpear.com to all of you.
