Lesson summary

New ideas aren’t much good if no one knows about them. To get your sustainability message out there, you need to create an exciting advertisement that grabs your audience, makes them pay attention, and sticks in their mind for a long time afterwards. Use the ads that most effectively influence you in real life as inspiration for your own ad that convinces people to live sustainably.
