  • great campaign, i fully support it, anyone know how the posters were made though? thanks

  • Don't mean to ignore the campaign, but how are the posters made with this water soluble ink? Would be a real help to my art research :)

  • Totally Brilliant!

  • love it!

  • @MrPatrickAbitbol most wildpostings are illegal anyway, so most likely you wouldnt.

  • 13. I discovered this secret 4 years ago and now I'm revealing it to anybody who wants to learn, the fact that the entire Oil market doesn't really go up and down in price by the dynamics of buying and selling, but rather is controlled by a computer. Now this is your chance to use this corruption for your own benefit and trade Oil from the comforts of your own home and make a great living doing so. Are you ready to join the revolution? Google my website "Oil Trading Academy".

  • @mrpatrickabitol that's kind of the point. You should be upset, about oil spills and petroleum in general.

  • I'd be pretty pissed if I had my poster under these. Pretty good idea though

  • for Turkish

  • Very, very cool. Thanks for sharing and thanks for highlighting an issue of huge importance. Respect.

  • beautifully stupid.

  • Alternatives? I would assume alternatives include bioenergy, converting organic waste to electricity and other green technologies that allow for energy production without a large carbon offset. You can't snap your fingers and get rid of oil, but you can slowly adapt to a different lifestyle. The campaign's main goal was to raise awareness. 27,000 viewers are now aware.  Thanks Dogwood Initiative.

  • @magicmarker90 Blaming tankers for oil use is like blaming wet streets for rain. The focus of the clip was banning tankers not limiting oil use. The fact that tankers are the most energy efficient and least polluting way to transport oil obviously hasn't registered with you or the Dogwoodies.

    .

  • @Meridianmulti Transporting oil, and other goods like consumer products, should be transported across oceans. However, I feel like this video is trying to raise awareness that communities and global cities, like Vancouver or Singapore, have the ability to slowly become less oil dependent. I worked with Dogwood last summer and was an assistant to Vicky Husband, who has the Order of Canada. Think oil dependency is inexhaustible? Check out ziraisland . com

  • @magicmarker90 Your responses continue to ignore completely the content the video clip. Why is that?

    The clip says nothing about alternatives and nothing about reduction of oil dependence. All the clip says is "No Tankers."

    Bottom line, banning tankers from Canada's Pacific North Coast, which is what the video is calling for, would increase energy use and likely also increase pollution. Don't waste my time talking about topics the video never addresses.

  • @Meridianmulti Wow, I got you rattled. Also, statistics are a good way to back up points. Do you have any? Do I have any? No and no. So stop complaining on youtube videos to make yourself seem smart.

    I love this quote. "Do without oil entirely? Move oil by inefficient and dirty tanker trucks? Build pipelines that have their own nasty environmental consequences? Rely on Canadian oil sands, which is an environmental disaster? Or maybe nukes, which create waste that will be deadly for hundreds"

  • @magicmarker90 No just bored. Your bullshit is as boring as is it dishonest.

    You refuse to address the stupidity in the video but go off on your silly tangents instead. But that is our problem not mine. Bye.

  • @Meridianmulti Well, see ya. I hope you can think when you're bored! go out and enjoy life.

  • @magicmarker90 And maybe one day you stop being so profoundly ignorant of that which you feel so free to pontificate.

  • @Meridianmulti Why is there so much hate? I don't hate you man, nor do i dislike you. You could be a computer for all i know (obvs not), but yea... just get over this video... and me.

  • @magicmarker90 Also, stop speaking in tongues. Im too old for Harry Potter...jokes.

  • "I wonder what alternative these folks suggest. Do without oil entirely? Move oil by inefficient and dirty tanker trucks? Build pipelines that have their own nasty environmental consequences? Rely on Canadian oil sands, which is an environmental disaster? Or maybe nukes, which create waste that will be deadly for hundreds of thousands of years?

    Frankly this is one of the stupider campaigns I have seen in quite some time.

  • Man is the most destructive animal on earth. Our oceans are dying. Our lakes, river, and streams are contaminated. We are even poisoning our clean underground water, by fracking. Our air is poisoned, our soil is contaminated. Man is even polluting space with debris. The technology is here to have vehicles, running clean. They are just too damned expensive, for the everyday person to buy. The big oil and gas company's, are fighting to keep prices high.

  • GENIUS!

    

  • Tankers will have to continue to move around the globe, so why not try make them safer instead of banning them? It is just like your neighbours complaining that your water-soluble posters pollute their curbs and you go fix them on someone else's walls!

  • ABSOLUTE GENIUS!!!!

    

  • G E N I U S.

  • Vancouver Opera Company had La Traviata playing until 12 May, so unless Dogwood put up their "wild posters" after 12 May, they impaired the VOC's event. If so, doesn't seem very community-spirited of Dogwood, unless they think that their ends justify the means?

  • Totally love the idea and its' realization! It is great!! I wish there were more like these on our streets, I wish people would be more aware of these dramatic topics and that they would act! Makes me want to run infront of my house and start to yell and protest lol

  • Very cool idea.

    Too bad the oceans are all already screwed from hundreds of thousands of tons of radioactive water from Fukushima, the Corexit and chemicals sprayed into the gulf oil spill, the thousands of Depleted Uranium munitions shot into the Pacific Northwest by US Army drills in the 90s and the 50 years of the Boeing factory spewing PCBs into Puget Sound...

  • wow

  • woaw not only a strong statement, but this is art to the max!!

  • @UnannouncedGuest

    Important message I suppose. But can we still drive cars? I don't understand if this isjust for the north.. like as if to connect the Tsands with via pipeline to ocean tankers. I'll be at the protest for that

  • @tinkeramblin

    noo we can not drives cars anymore, until a better source of energy is found/used :P

    at least that is my opinion....

    I don't want a car, I'm 24 and I cycle or walk everywhere... I'm really bugged by fat people and streets full of ugly metal boxes with wheels that produce nasty fumes :)

    or take public transport :)

  • You dripped ink all over everybody else's poster... way to be a good neighbour.

  • beautiful work of art, straight to the point!

  • Effective and unmistakable for what it its - a tragic mess!

  • Very cool - and we do need to slow and then stop the use of oil everywhere - and all fossil fuels. Let's run our planet on 100% clean, green, renewable energy instead. It's doable.

  • And that, gossage is called a strawman...

    Want to explain why you think opposing a new pipeline and oil tankers in a pristine part of British columbia makes someone opposed to the use of any oil anywhere?

  • @vancouverbarista I think the point is that this is a NIMBY attitude. It's also treating a symptom instead of th cause: You don't want tankers? Stop the Tar Sands.

    Given the election result, Canadian's (and I live here too) have voted to continue doing very nicely at the expense of the wilderness.

  • Comment removed

  • @chocolatefoot I would agree. On a different note: although the concept is *very* cool, the one small glitch I see in the campaign's design is that the video documentation might be more effective than the posters themselves, because by the time the "oil" has completely dripped, the shape of the tanker is barely visible. What probably would have been more effective visually is if the tanker remained painted in non-water-soluble black ink and the text was white. But super clever, nonetheless.

  • @chocolatefoot In defence of NIMBYism. its our land, we care about it and its the only part of the world we have legal control of (or at least some control). Why shouldn't one care about their "back yard"?

    Its not NIMBY because they dont want oil development in anyones backyard, they lobby to invest this capital in sustainable energy infrastructure. Many in opposition to tankers also oppose the Tar Sands but since they are in Alberta we can only stop them from using our land to export it

  • Oil is also the vital raw material for thousands of different petroleum products: from the carpet on your floor to the insulation inside your walls; from the synthetic rubber of your tires to the asphalt of the roads; from the pesticides and fertilizers that magnify crop yields and make food affordable to billions, to the pharmaceuticals that save millions of lives to the computer or phone you're using to watch this video.

  • Wow! Those are awesome!! Nice work, props!

  • Beautiful and clever. Awesome job guys!
