TOW #10 "No coins, it's change I need" (visual)

                This image shows two people protesting about global warming, and how it is affecting polar bears. One of them is dressed as a homeless polar bear and holding a sign that says “No coins, it’s change I need.” The play on words is a great way of getting peoples’ attention because at first glance, one might think he is contradicting himself, but in actuality, he is asking for change and not in the way of ‘change’ being another word for currency. He wants the people and the government to realize that the climate changing issue is a huge problem. He is dressed homeless because the ice caps are melting causing many polar bears and other wildlife to lose their homes. It would have a great impact on the environment and society if this was allowed to continue and worsen. The woman next to the man dressed as the bear, holds a sign that states “I’m with the bear” and this shows that people are interested in changing what is causing global warming and want to save the polar bears. It also can show that it does not just affect the bears and life that relies on the cold weather and ice, but it also affects people everywhere. People love polar bears. The thought of them losing their homes makes people want to take action. Alongside that, anyone who may not jump at the change to help the bears, would more than likely then take action when they realize it affects them directly too.
