GRAND RAPIDS, MICH; WASHINGTON D.C. —
Advertising agency Extra Credit Projects (ECP), in partnership with EARTHDAY.ORG and the Out of Home Advertising Association of America (OAAA) once again helped to bring international awareness to Earth Day.
The designs brought awareness to the organization’s focus on educating audiences about the negative health effects of the single-use plastic industry.
“This incredible campaign devised by our friends at the creative agency Extra Credit Projects and supported by OAAA, is about alerting the public to the dangers of plastics and their additive chemicals. It is forthright because EARTHDAY.ORG believes that the plastic industry doesn’t give a fork about the planet,” said Tom Cosgrove, Chief Creative and Content Officer for EARTHDAY.ORG.
The message was broadcast on digital billboard units nationally via OAAA’s member companies and internationally across Africa by Earth Day media partner Alliance Media. Additionally, the message was projected in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on the side of the National Arts Centre, directly across the street from the United Nations summit where international scientists and exports were gathered in their fourth round of negotiations to develop a legally binding treaty to combat plastic pollution on a global scale.
