To Spread a Message:
As part of the water conservation campaign for Dublin City, this vinyl sticker was placed over an actual manhole. It appeared as if someone had sealed the drain with a giant sink plug. The tagline highlights the message: “Water is precious. Let’s conserve it.” (Agency : Publicis QMP, Dublin )


“Don’t let child abuse remain unseen“. (Milwaukee, USA)

Thousands are held prisoners for their beliefs in places worse than this. Write until you free them all. Amnesty International


How many more lives will cost $1.25? Please call 010-62357575 to report manhole cover theft so we can put an end to this.
