Anti-Litter Effort Appeals to Sense of Pride

“These streets are reflections of ourselves.” That’s a line in one of the commercials from a new LevLane-created campaign for the Philadelphia Recycling Office. There are five spots in all. Each is the result of a 75-person audition of word performances from Philadelphia area artists.

With the tagline, Un Litter Us, the campaign aims to get people to care about their neighborhoods by informing them they are what the residents make of them.

In addition to TV, radio, transit and, the campaign will also include street poetry events, Facebook and Twitter presences, signage-designated “Litter Free School Zones,” and block-by-block community mobilization drives.

Three of the commercial can be seen here, here and here.
