“This action gets under your skin” – this is the slogan used by One Mobility GmbH, which sells the climate ticket in Austria, to promote it. “The feedback at the festivals was extremely positive,” said Jakob Lambert, Managing Director of One Mobility GmbH, the APA. On Instagram there was a criticism.Vienna campaign. The “Kleine Zeitung” also reported on the campaign. The choice of motif for the free climate ticket was restricted for the festival visitors, it had to be the subject of the climate ticket, explained Lambert. A total of six people – three per festival – received the free, Austria-wide climate ticket for one year. “None of them got the first tattoo of their lives, it was more like people who already have a few and now have one more,” Lambert said in an interview with APA on Saturday. In addition, only adults would be tattooed, the action would take place in the early followingnoon and not in the evening.
“Individual responsibility”
The campaign at the Electric Love Festival in Salzburg took place six weeks ago. On Instagram, users criticized and asked, among other things, whether it was an exemplary action to motivate young adults to get tattooed. “Personal responsibility,” replied the operator of the climate ticket Instagram account.
A total of around ten tattoos a day were and are given to festival visitors – in addition to the climate ticket, there are other designs that all have to do with public transport, sustainability and climate and are engraved free of charge. “The campaign is extremely well received by the target group, there are extremely many visitors who want to beautify their bodies with tattoos,” explained Lambert.
Environment Minister Leonore Gewessler (Greens) also visited the Frequency Festival in St. Pölten and the climate ticket stand on Thursday. She herself had decided on a child’s tattoo that is washable, and this is also offered. The campaign was “received very positively by the festival guests,” said a spokeswoman for the minister.
In any case, no further events of this kind are planned for this year, said Lambert. “We don’t know yet whether there will be a repeat next year.”
