Execution

THE TASK: Founded by renowned primatologist and environmentalist Dr. Jane Goodall, Roots and Shoots is an international organization that believes education for environmental issues should start young. The organization is looking for a dramatic way to communicate the dire consequences of plastic waste to students. THESOLUTION: We decided to let the students themselves get involved. Large bins were set up in schools, asking kids to donate used plastic bags. The bags were then used to build a 3-storey high inflatable monster, displayed in schools and other public areas, with the message: “Waste plastic bags and they’ll come back to haunt you.” The Monster was unveiled at an official event officiated by Dr. Jane Goodall herself. RESULT: The Monster has stormed various schools and public places, and is scheduled to appear in even more schools in the coming year. Numerous excited and curious kids. A few frightened students. Press coverage at major events.
