Tom Jucarone of Sound Lounge mixes Harrison Ford and global warming together for Conservation International’s arresting new spot about rain forest conservation via BBDO New York.

As a resolute Harrison Ford sits down for his first chest waxing, he explains that the destruction of the rain forest is releasing carbon dioxide into our atmosphere at an alarming rate. “For every bit of rain forest that’s ripped up over there, it really hurts us over here,” he says.

The sound of hair being ripped from his chest jolts our attention. He winces. The pain on Ford’s face is as real as his commitment to saving what’s left of the world’s rain forests.
