Welcome to our Blog

We've started this blog to broaden the reach of our public service campaigns and give you new insight into how we raise awareness for critical social issues. And, we hope that you'll join us in taking our public service campaigns to the next level -- discussion.

We'll update the blog periodically, focusing on new and existing campaigns that the Ad Council produced. You'll find our thoughts behind the campaign, relevant links for action, and we'll also follow the discussions that the world is having in response to our PSAs. So, check back often for updates (you can even subscribe to our RSS feed), and help us start meaningful dialogue on these critical social issues.

On behalf of the men and women of the Los Angeles Fire Department, please accept our heartiest congratulations and best wishes for success in your blogging endeavor.

From "Only You..." to "Friends Don't Let Friends..." the work of the AdCouncil has had a lasting - and positive impact on the work that we are all to often called to do.

Respectfully Yours in Safety and Service,

While your "Only You" campaign is good for wildfires and forest fires, it appears that no space (links) are available for readers to learn how the Healthy Forest Initiative, now a law, uses timber management (the harvesting of trees in national forests) to maintain healthy forests. Healthy forests have much less a risk of wildfire. In fact, if we had a "healthy" timber management policy in America, we would not need prescribed burns in our forests. Now brush lands possibly can be burned off, carefully, but our forests should be harvested for the good of the forest and for our public's benefit.

[OUR FUTURE]

We are trying to understand the problems that are facing us in our future. We are trying to do whatever we can to create awareness and action in order to achieve the information and power we will need as tools for our future. This SITE is the best ever! We can better understand the problems of Global Warming through your PSA's, we are encouraged to excel in science, math and reading through your positive messages. It is shocking to see how our individual homes and lifestyles impact global warming. Thank you. We are looking forward to a strong partnership with your site and will rely on your information to keep us busy in our homes and communities.

Hey, we are just kids, but it is OUR FUTURE.

Good Job!
