The U.S. Forest Service, the Ad Council and Euro RSCG Tonic have created a PSA campaign designed to reconnect tweens with nature, even though most of them would probably prefer to kick back in Habbo or fire up the Xbox. This commercial shows why the latter might be the safer option, as the kids scream and dash through the woods while reptiles and bugs attack. Well, that's my interpretation. If a lizard climbed onto my back (this happens in the ad), I'd be screaming like a banshee.
