As the effects of our modern lifestyle start to become even more prevalent to the average consumer, we're seeing the cleverness and number of recycling campaigns increasing on a global scale. Ranging from the pinpointing of new technologies to decrease consumption to programs that help to push consumers away from wasteful lifestyles, these recycling campaigns push in sometimes uncomfortable directions to effectively draw attention to worthwhile and important causes.
Brands and public establishments are spreading their wings when it comes to recycling campaigns by getting down to the nitty gritty; gone are the days of kindly encouraging a more recycle focused lifestyle as brands are showcasing the actual effects that we're seeing in our environment as a means of scaring, but mostly to deliver a reality check.
