Uber scandal, Google employees want data protections and how marketers spend their ad money
Also: New York City’s sanitation department uses Sarah McLachlan to beg for help.
New York City’s Department of Sanitation took to TikTok last week to ask New Yorkers to move their cars on street-cleaning days.
Full ASP is back today! Please move your car so we can keep streets clean, safe & healthy. Link in bio. Thanks #sarahmclachan for the inspo💚 #dsny #fyp
The video, set to “Angel,” by Sarah McLachlan, is a black-and-white plea for car-owning city dwellers to respect the newly reinstated twice-weekly street cleaning policy. Sanitation workers star in the video and cite the abundance of trash on NYC streets as the reason for the soulful PSA, parodying the well-known ASPCA ads.
Jessica Tisch, commissioner of the NYCDS, sits in a garbage truck in the video.
“Will you move your car? Every day, litter gets on the streets of our city and it’s crying out to be cleaned up,” she says.
The video is a good example of how to address a an important but maybe not-so-interesting topic in a light-hearted way.
