Concept

Together with the AdCouncil, we urged people to take advantage of mass transit instead of just hopping in a cab. This emotional PSA marries New York street art—made of recyclable plastic bags—with a relevant, global cause.

Problem

Everyone is talking about global warming. But no one stops to think about the ordinary, everyday things they can do to prevent it.
