Brief Explanation

Orange Ribbon campaign is to help the elderly people who collect the recycling papers for a living and we encourage people to spontaneously participate into it. We believe the most effective way to create buzz about the campaign is to let people know about the social issue and understand what the older people need. The Beautiful Foundation distributed Orange Ribbon to people who live in residents and shopping area where lots of recycling papers come out. By leading people to tie the recycling papers with Orange Ribbon and to put a sticker on it, we let people to truly understand that this simple action can make change in one’s life.

The Brief

Our goal is to let people understand the situation instantly and to make them participate spontaneously. One third of the population of old people collects the recycling papers for a living in Korea. Some of them even get into an accident because the litter-strewn streets are often so dangerous. We believe the best way to help them is not a temporary policy or short-time support but a change in all of us who just litter the trash on the street that it gets the older people into risk of accidents. Tiny changes could make a big change in the society.

Moreover, the donation rate is increased by 250% and the number of website visitors is increased by 300% up to now. There has been increasing number of tweets, hash tags, press releases and interviews about Orange Ribbon and Mr.Lee Mok Hee, a member of the National Assembly, proposed a bill ‘law for the older people who collect the recycling papers.’ We are constantly putting our effort to raise the awareness and the number of donators.
