In the wake of climate change, AMV BBDO recently released the 'AddressPollution.org' campaign formed in collaboration with rapper Drillminister -- an artist known for his politically-charged music -- and includes the song 'Choke' that speaks to the illegal levels of toxic air in London, England. At the end of the video, a mother holds a picture of her nine-year-old daughter Ella Kissi-Debrah with the quote "medical evidence shows she died as a result of high air pollution."
According to the platform, "air pollution is an invisible killer, yet public awareness of toxicity, its health effects and how to reduce exposure remain woefully low." The campaign not only raises awareness but allows London residents to get a free Air Quality Rating based on their address while giving them the necessary resources to take action.
