The Nine Network pulled Greenpeace’s recycling ad from its Friday night football coverage. The ad has people drinking soft drinks on a beach as birds start falling from the sky and washing up dead, the reason – plastic waste.

The half-minute ad slot cost Greenpeace $22,000 and was due to be shown during Friday night’s NRL match featuring the West Tigers and Cronulla Sharks. According to Channel Nine, the ad was dropped as its content was ‘offensive’.
