Interesting flash however...
Joining in on socio and geo economic reform policy is better put at government level, because a mayoral position only lasts so long vs a sustained government position. The only reason you may be looking at a mayoral position in this case is because you hope to instigate some kind of revolution in the world.
However, a city by city basis doesn't work unless you have a truly organized network. Every little bit helps I suppose, but creating a penguin flash versus actually getting out on the streets and cleaning them is an entirely seperate matter. You are asking us to give time and energy whereas there is no guarentee that any of this is worthwhile. In the absolute worst case scenario, the penguins themselves become protected by laws, and forced into a wildlife sanctuary, but this is a step down from natural living.
You've tacked on the penguin as a sort of mascot in this, but ignored the fact that with nearly everything we do, we kill things. Every time I walk, I crush countless bugs under my feet. I hunt and kill in the woods for food. Not because I need it to live, but because I like the taste. Every time we actually log in to the computer, we use energy. Energy that is taken from countless places, and from land that animals once lived on.
Personally I think that you are living a dream world until you start making changes and showing people that it can work, instead of actually going 'Gee, wouldn't it be neat if we all ruled cities and could control trash and energy policy?'
This movie really wants to make me go and punt a penguin, but I think that may be the point. To at least get us off our asses doing something.
Decent animation overall though.
Best wishes,
Jonas

Appreciated your review a lot... I gotta say, that the extremes that are shown in the movie are definitely a dream. However, small steps can be taken, and as you said, its supposed to make you get off your ass and do something. But to provoke reviews like this, that make people stand up for their own viewpoints, is exactly what I wanted from this film. If anything, I want people to see my viewpoint of climate change, even if it is somewhat farfetched and not an overnight process.
The US government isnt jumping at kyoto, so maybe a state or city level initiative will do it, so I dont know. We'll see what happens, and in the mean time, thanks for your great review.

Excellent Submittion
Really excellent submittion, you had an excellent amount of material not to make it too long or too short. The writing was readable.
Graphics, Flash Style worked really well together, and the Sound was pretty decent.
The only real loss of points, is because you made a good flash, I get more critical.
You didn't really give any arguement as to why we pollute the enviroment; nor did you mention the fact that this wouldn't be that easy to accomplish.
so true
great work, i hope it will come true
