Greenpeace Car Free Day

Greenpeace in China promoted Car Free Day, an event held on September 22, 2010, with a print advertising campaign featuring tire marks with a difference. Examined closely, the three print ads, Drought, Melt and Flood, reveal detailed illustrations portraying the impact of climate change on people, animals and the environment as a whole. The top tire mark shows the myriad car trips that people take in a day, such as driving to the supermarket or to school. The bottom tire track shows the environmental impact of these journeys, such as a polar bear’s sad demise due to melting ice. The campaign won Gold and Silver Press Lions and a Bronze Outdoor Lion at Cannes International Festival of Creativity. Click on the thumbnails below to see more.
