[Heal the Bay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spencer-bowl) is run by a group of people from Los Angeles who are concerned about the amount of pollution caused by the Hyperion Sewage Wastewater Treatment Plant. Heal the Bay wants clean and healthy water for both people and animals alike.

RLR Advertising did an amazing job with the [Heal the Bay campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-advertising-campaign), digitally creating an [enormous burger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-billboards) and sushi out of garbage. The tagline for the campaign reads, "Want a healthy planet? Stop feeding it junk. Recycle."
