(Picture Courtesy: Twitter) - People's heedlessness has made them guilty of leaving a destructive trail of waste.
- Just in case, people are still confused.
- Our insatiable desire - consumerism - leads to after-effects that are simply too overwhelming.
- Our global organizations and leaders have utterly failed in protecting our natural treasures. But there's not much time for despair.
- If things don't improve then we might be next on the list of extinct species soon.
- Hashtag activism gets us nowhere, really.
- Through these fake posters, Brandalism aims to challenge the role advertising plays in promoting unsustainable consumerism.
- Joe Elan from Brandalism reportedly said that these major corporate entities are promoting themselves as part of the solution when in reality they are part of the environmental problem.
