VIDEO: Homeless polar bear roams Hong Kong in moving Greenpeace ad

Who would have thought that a couple of guys wandering around Hong Kong in a polar bear suit could change the world?

Well at least that’s the aim of Greenpeace China, who released this surprisingly moving video of exactly that.

Entitled Homeless Polar Bear in Hong Kong, the short clip starkly illustrates the plight of victims of climate change, as our protagonist, Pauline, lumbers along Hong Kong’s grey streets, looks on with confusion at a gas station, and sniffs around in rubbish for her lifeless cubs.

The voiceover says: “Save the Arctic today, before it’s too late”. Visit www.savethearctic.or is this got you by the heart strings as much as it did us.
