Ocean Care Foundation clip on screens in McDonald’s
One of the messages that the Ocean Care Foundation promotes is that 70 percent of the earth’s oxygen is produced by the ocean. To this end, as of 15 July, an Ocean Care Foundation information clip will be shown in all McDonald’s restaurants in the Netherlands. The clip, which shows a breating planet earth, is aimed at the general public, and is intended to inform them that the ocean produces most of the planet’s oxygen. It was produced as a part of the ‘Help the lungs of the earth breath again campaign’. The clip will be screened regularly until October. At present the 30 second clip is only in Dutch. An English language version will be available shortly.

The Ocean Care Foundation would like to thank BlueDrop for producing the clip; and Librium TV and McDonald’s for making the screening possible.

The film looks at the ecological breakdown as a result of colonisation by a single species, and shows what two businesses are successfully doing to promote their interests by protecting the marine environment.
