Greensboro Recycling Ad Copy & Public Perception
Posted by ryan on January 21, 2008
This is a bit off topic but it is something that I found humorous and also brought a question to mind.
I was listening to the radio last night and an ad (likely PSA) for Greensboro’s new recycling schedule came on. The final words of the ad were something like “Help Greensboro save the environment every other week.” I immediately thought “So Greensboro doesn’t care about the environment the weeks we don’t recycle?” Of course that isn’t what they mean but it is exactly what they said.
Do you feel as though the City of Greensboro does a good/bad job at handling its public image?

That ad also seems a little silly, as if all it takes to save the environment is recycling.

The biggest problem with Greensboro’s public image is the fact that the City spends too much time and money attempting to spin the image and not enough time and money working to solve problems.
Put a rose in one hand, a fresh turd in the other hand, hold both the same distance from your nose and see which one you smell– that is the City’s biggest downfall.
