SOFII’s view
This is perhaps one of the lowest cost exhibits on SOFII. So it’s a pity there’s no results information included, as it might just be one of the most cost effective also.
Creator / originator
Marcello Colacino, Greenpeace Italia.
Summary / objectives
This is an email appeal asking supporters of Greenpeace Italia to participate in an online petition to the Consorzio of Parmigiano Reggiano (an association of people who produce the world-famous Italian cheese Parmigiano Reggiano) to ask for a modification of their rules of production for the Parmigiano cheese. In particular the petition requested that the manufacturers should not make it with genetically modified (OGM) milk.
Background
For many years, Greenpeace has been campaigning around the world against the use of genetically modified organisms in food and food products. Greenpeace regularly uses petitions to mobilise supporters and influence change. In recent years Greenpeace has been very effective at using email as a primary means of quickly engaging campaigning supporters and as a low-cost way of raising money.
Special characteristics
This email campaign is really a call to action, good image, very few words but with very high impact.
Merits
Because it's a clear, short, but very effective way to inform Italian people that OGM (genetically modified organisms) are used in the famous Parmigiano Reggiano and that, as a result, every Italian is eating OGM every day.
