Brilliant use of nostalgia and familiarity to question why it is okay to push harmful things onto the public. The only way polluters will change is to hurt their income (until elected leaders grow backbones and regulate them properly).
"For the Southwark campaign, Bonner channelled the golden age of cigarette advertising, repurposing the cheery glamour of vintage tobacco marketing to expose how the same manipulative tactics are used today to normalise pollution."

Crafting global legislative guard rails for mariculture now could ensure that the world's growing demand for more seafood doesn't end up killing marine life. How does this get started? Which environmental groups get ahead of this? #mariculture #feedtheworld #fishfarming
Can the world farm more seafood with less impact?

We don't have to be bombarded by ads for stuff that kills the planet.

These major cities have ALL banned fossil fuel adverts. These ads have massive climate and health impacts, all while targeting politically influential decision makers.
