The video, released globally today on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.homoschlepiens.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.homoschlepiens.com<\/a>, features Mayim Bialik (Dr Amy Farrah Fowler) from the hit TV series The Big Bang Theory and Kristian Nairn, (Hodor) of the cult series Game of Thrones. The video aims to raise awareness about the devastating effect that single-use plastic bottles are having on the environment.<\/p>\n<p>Set in the future, \u2018The Homoschlepiens\u2019 features Mayim Bialik as an anthropologist, recalling her first encounter with a Homoschlepien, played by Kristian Nairn. The story moves backwards and forwards in time to reflect the harmful reality of plastic bottle consumption, a habit that is hazardous to the planet and does not exist in the future. The Museum of UnNatural History featured in the video facilitates spectacular cinematic encounters between Mayim and the last tribe of plastic dependent species, the Homoschlepiens. As a qualified neuroscientist and environmentalist, Mayim Bialik understands the importance of staying hydrated in a way that\u2019s eco-friendly.<\/p>\n<p>Shooting of the campaign was brought forward as Bialik received medical advice to rest her vocal chords for one month. &#8220;This campaign has a powerful message and one that needed to be told before I went on vocal rest,&#8221; said Bialik. &#8220;More than one billion plastic beverage bottles are used each day around the world, the majority of which end up in our landfills, parks and oceans, devastating the environment and killing marine animals. Who will speak for them and say enough is enough? I may have temporarily lost my voice, but I won&#8217;t be silenced about this important message, the world needs to find their voice and say \u2018no\u2019 to polluting plastic bottles,&#8221; she continued.<\/p>\n<p>The Homoschlepiens campaign was shot in Ukraine, on a set designed to transport audiences to a future free from plastic bottle pollution. The integrated campaign uses PR and digital to embed an important message while an interactive website allows users to discover the world of the Homoschlepiens and a more sustainable way of life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur new video, The Homoschlepiens, shows how primitive it is to hydrate with single-use plastic bottles that pollute our Earth,\u201d explains Daniel Birnbaum, Chief Executive Officer of SodaStream. \u201cIt&#8217;s easy and economical to enjoy water and delicious sparkling drinks made from tap water at home and without having to pollute the planet. Using disposable plastic bottles is a prehistoric habit that belongs to the past; it\u2019s high time for the world to evolve and create a better future for our children.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Homoschlepians highlights the devastating effect of single-use plastic bottles on the environment SodaStream has turn the spotlight on humanity\u2019s prehistoric preoccupation with single-use plastic bottles with a new environmental global campaign: \u2018The Homoschlepiens\u2019.
