It would be incredibly hard to forget the plight of the polar bears if you took your toothbrush out of the 'Larsen C' every morning. This oddly named toothbrush/flower-holder is designed to look like a soaking wet Arctic glacier.
As far as I can tell, the 'Larsen C' wasn't designed to make any sort of environmental or political statement which is a good thing. Leave the environment to the environmentalists while the designers design.
