Dave Redl, the artist behind the comic-turned-animated-series Family Pants, is feeling the globe’s pain. In a new Flash-animated PSA, titled Globe Guy, Redl illustrates what our planet might be thinking about our day-to-day activities up here on the surface. Redl directed, animated and edited, while James Yang designed the piece.

With this whole Copenhagen Climate Conference going on, it’s easy to forget that the real focus of this whole global warming thing is about… animation. Okay, it’s about each of us doing our part to secure a safe, disaster-free future for our offspring, but animation can help us get there. For instance, here’s a short PSA called The Stress of Business Travel, which was produced by the team at Producto Studios. It was crafted for Climate Care Day, an initiaitive created by Arkadin and WWF to illustrate the “simple steps you can take and to make a difference and create change.” The animation was produced by Producto Studios, and the design was handled by Les Harper on character and Dan Golden on BGs.

In this :30, Flash-animated PSA below, Erin Esurance reminds us all to go “lights out” at 8:30pm tomorrow for Earth Hour. The worldwide event was initiated by the WWF, with the concept that leaving your lights on is a vote for global warming.

The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) is calling on you to join Barack Obama in his fight to cure our climate woes. This Flash-animated short illustrates their point quite well. For more information, head over to the LCV website.
