dbo:abstract
  • Woodsy Owl ist ein Maskottchen und eine Werbefigur des United States Forest Service (USFS) mit dem Ziel, Kinder zu einem gesunden und nachhaltigen Umgang mit der Umwelt zu motivieren. Die 1970 entworfene, anthropomorphe Eulenfigur ist seit Jahren fester Bestandteil des Bildungsprogramms der US-Behörden und tritt vor allem gegen Vermüllung und Umweltverschmutzung ein. Woodsys Motto lautete ursprünglich „Give a hoot! Don’t pollute“ (deutsch: „Kümmere Dich! [idiomatisch; wörtlich: Gib einen Eulenschrei!] Verschmutze nicht [die Umwelt]“) und wurde inzwischen zu „Lend a Hand, Care for the Land!“ (sinngemäß etwa: „Mach mit, halt die Umwelt fit!“) umgestaltet. Gemeinsam mit Smokey Bear ist Woodsy Owl zu einer US-amerikanischen Umweltikone geworden, die in zahlreichen Liedern, Comics und Fernsehauftritten Einzug in die Popkultur gehalten hat. (de)
