As we conclude our Environmental Awareness Series this Earth Day, we focus on sustainability—the core of environmental action. In this final installment, we celebrate the transformative power of design, advertising, and posters in fostering a sustainable future. From innovative campaigns that rethink how we use resources to compelling posters that call for conservation and responsible consumption, each project featured here calls for change. Explore how creatives worldwide are making sustainability a visual and actionable reality towards a better planet Earth.
