Campaign

So last week after seeing The Cove for the first time I really wanted to figure out a way to incorporate saving dolphins into my everyday life.

After watching the it the second time and a long discussion with my boyfriend, Jimi, it finally came to me...creating something that is inexpensive to make but has lots of artistic character, and quality in that fact that it is handmade. The main fact is to get the message out there, to educate, to get people to ask questions and to raise a little money that can be donated to dolphins all over the world.

My Idea

Since paddling is my biggest past time and where I am most connected with the ocean and dolphins I of course immediately felt this would be the place to start since most people who paddle feel a special connection with the ocean and its creatures.

Everyone wheres trucker hats, they are inexpensive, perfect for paddling workouts and have the perfect black canvas for art.

All of the hats are going to send a message about 4 different organizations that support dolphin conservation and protection.

These are the organizations:
OPS - produced The Cove and are major players in protecting our ocean from further deacy and protecting the dolphins in Japan that are being slaughtered or going into captivity
Save Japan Dolphin - Rick O' Barry's campaign to save teh dolphins in Japan and the dolphins in captivity all around the world
Save Taiwan Pink Dolphins - headed by Wild at Heart, it is an effort to save a special species of dolphin off of Asia's coastline that are endangered
WDCS United Kingdom - Their goal is to save their pods of dolphin off the Northern coast from further population decline

I have 12 design ideas so far and the hats are ordered. There is more to come soon!
