HSBC "Swimming Pool"

As the world's first carbon neutral bank, HSBC pursues environmental initiatives throughout its organization. The task at hand was to increase awareness of their website, www.globalwarmingsolutions.co.in, thus educating people on minimizing climate change in a less theoretical manner. They glued an arial view of a city to the base of a swimming pool. Consequently, shocked swimmers and onlookers witnessed how global warming could destroy our world someday. www.globalwarmingsolutions.co.in received 300% more hits in the subsequent days of the activity. They also observed increased registrations pledging support for the cause. The idea received widespread media coverage and word of mouth publicity.
