Media 2002


Media files from past Litter Campaigns

When Ecology introduced the Litter and It Will Hurt campaign in 2002, Torquemada and his Henchmen (figures from the historic Spanish Inquisition) were chosen as the humorously dramatic spokespeople for radio and television commercials. The goal was to grab the audience’s attention using humor to demonstrate just how litter could “hurt.” While somewhat controversial, the spots generated a lot of attention and discussion about litter in Washington.

The spots featuring these characters can be viewed or heard here. You will need Quick Time Player for the videos. Click here to download Quick Time Player for free. Then click on the TV or radio pictures below to play the files.
