Execution

On May 4, Greenery Day, Mainichi published a “Green Newspaper.” Printed on special paper infused with plant seeds, it featured articles that conveyed the importance of greening. There were three main ideas behind this project. 1) People could read the newspaper articles and understand the importance of greening 2) People could take part in greening by planting the newspaper in soil. 3) Sprouts will come from the newspaper within weeks, increasing the amount of green in the world. We planned events, online promotion, posters, and PR around this Green Newspaper. It was a successful social campaign sponsored by a newspaper publisher.
