Every Leaf Traps CO2 advertisement is effective because of the information offered, its use of color, and the image presented.

This is due to the increase in pollution caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Pollution is terrible, it causes plants to become discolored or die. This causes the environment to lose its only source of converting CO2 to Oxygen. The loss of plants allows for more CO2 to be in the air, this can have devastating effects on the Earth.
The image shows a factory carved inside a leaf. The picture is heart wrenching because it shows a leaf being tortured and killed. The image makes the statement of pollution being harmful to plants. The image also promotes change; that we should take action to better our planet. However, this image can be interpreted differently to anyone, but their main message is to save the environment.

This ad represents three rhetorical appeals; logos, ethos, and pathos. First appeal is logos, which is reasoning/logic. For logos, it states that every leaf traps CO2, which is a good thing because plants convert that into oxygen. Second appeal we have is ethos, which is Character.

    768 Words  | 2 Pages

    In 2010 the ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) came out with a commercial that would shock the advertisement industry. The effectiveness of this commercial is proven, simply by watching the reactions of the commercial’s viewers. For those who have never seen the video it has a very sad and morose tone to it. The commercial begins with showing pictures and videos of suffering animals with the song “Angel” playing in the background. While this is going on the narrator of the commercial (Sarah McLachlen) is softly talking about the suffering and abuse that these unfortunate animals go through. Through many different rhetorical techniques the viewers are many times brought to tears after watching this commercial. When thinking of pieces of Rhetoric that demonstrates the use of pathos, the first thing I think of is this commercial. The sole purpose of this commercial is to emotionally compromise the audience until eventually the viewers will donate money to the cause.

    These commercials make the audience feel fear, love, guilt, or joy about the situation being shown. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals or ASPCA for short shows commercials to get donations that will help prevent animal cruelty and rescue animals all across the country. I have not seen this commercial on any of the apps on my phone however this is a commercial that I see often on regular television. The target audience of these commercials is animal lovers; it could be a child or an adult. The use of Pathos in the promotion of joining the ASPCA or giving a one-time donation uses animals that look sad, hurt, homeless, abused or scared needing help. It is very effective as it makes the intended audience either want to donate to help the animals or to rescue one through adoption to give it a better life. The type of music played goes along with the feeling of sadness and helplessness that the animals are feeling and makes the audiences feel sad as well. These commercials also either use the voice of a celebrity or show the celebrity holding a dog or cat while giving information about how to help the animals. The audience is shown abused, beaten, or neglected animals and asked for donations to help give medical care, food, shelter, and love to them. The commercial is effective as it pulls at the emotions of animal lovers

  • Carbon Dioxide

    647 Words  | 2 Pages

    Humans and animals breathe out Carbon Dioxide, often referred to as the greenhouse gas, as a waste product. Plants take in this CO2 and use it to make food. This is called photosynthesis. During this process oxygen is released which is then breathed in by humans and animals. This procedure is repeated over and over and a natural balance is obtained. However this natural balance is disrupted by human activity. People of the world are putting more than 5.5 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere every year. 75% of this is caused from the burning of fossil fuels. These fuels are burnt all the time to run factories, power plants and vehicles. The main sources of CO2 emissions are electric utilities, residential buildings, industry and transportation. The other 25% is induced by the destruction of the world's forests. The reason for this is that there are less trees and plants to take in the CO2 but there is just as many, if not more, humans and animals to breathe it out.
