Artists Replace 600 Advertisements With The Truth

“We take possession advertising space because we want to denounce the role that advertising plays in promoting a consumerism unsustainable. The advertising industry feeds our desires for products based on the exploitation of fossil fuels, which have a direct impact on climate change. As for the climate negotiations and side events sponsored by large companies, the outdoor advertising allows more rich to ensure that their voice is heard beyond all others. “

Looks like these are in Europe, at least not in this country.

I would like to see a lot of those plastered all over the US.

Wasn't aware of that but I like it. We need more of that everywhere... like more cowbell!

Thanks for clarifying, I'm in an extremely rural environment - don't get out much - and wasn't aware of the FW Blogger, but I like it!
