Do The Green Thing WWF Earth Hour poster campaign: Enjoy Responsibly by Dan and Rachael
Creative environmental charity Do The Green Thing has announced that it to run 23 custom-designed posters, one each day in Marchin the build-up to WWF Earth Hour on 23 March.
On that date the environmental campaigners are encouraging people to switch their lights off from 20:30 in support of future sustainability with The Drum running each poster on the morning of their release.
Dan Norris and Ray Shaughnessy, creative directors at Wieden + Kennedy, are certified meat addicts – and they wanted to create a poster that encouraged themselves and others to go easy on the meat:
“We're pretty greedy, especially when it comes to meat, so it seemed like an obvious subject for us to deal with. We hope that by encouraging people to 'Make Meat a Treat' we can help them to reduce their meat consumption which in turn will help to reduce the industry's CO2 footprint. And from our selfish meat-eating point of view, we're looking at it as a form of carbon off-setting so we can keep enjoying it too. It's a classic win-win-win situation.”
