How did the project's use of recycled materials and puppeteer training contribute to its overall message and impact?

The Herds' journey, culminating at the Jostedalsbreen glacier and Nordkapp, Norway, aimed to connect the climate crisis to human experiences. By using art, the project sought to evoke an emotional response to the climate crisis, rather than focusing solely on scientific data. The project's success was measured by its attempt to foster emotional engagement rather than guarantee measurable impact on climate action.

How did climate change-related droughts contribute to the contamination of Perrier's water source and the subsequent illegal filtration practices?

The scandal involves accusations of industrial fraud and collusion with the French government to maintain the image of purity despite using illegal filtration methods to address water contamination caused by climate change-induced droughts. This threatens the market perception and profitability of brands like Perrier, Evian, and Vichy, which rely on the image of natural purity.
