"Our culture has come to value disposability in everything from razors to Tupperware," explains Y&R/Chicago writer Greg Christensen of these richly detailed efforts to commoditize the wonders of nature. "The NPCA wanted to remind people that our national parks aren't products we can redesign and replace. We liked the idea of coldly designed blueprints because they seem like a government-initiated contingency plan." Maybe, but we'd have to say these ads are way too organized to have come from any federal agency. Nevertheless, they "show the absurdity of having any strategy outside of vigilantly preserving what we already have," says Christensen. The ads have appeared so far only in National Parks, the quarterly members' magazine of the NPCA.
