Posing the question, "Where does your [rubbish go](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clean-something-for-nothing)," the Keep Australia Clean ad campaign puts the onus on its citizens to put their best foot forward when walking the streets of their native land. More than that, the [rippling concrete](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-billboards) effectively brings to mind water. Since Australia is often lumped into [best beach categories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacola-and-merlin-entertainments), the idea that their rubbish enters the ocean is very disturbing. The visuals in this campaign do wonders with shedding light on this fact.

Conceived and executed by Sydney-based ad agency Clemenger BBDO, the Keep Australia Clean ad campaign encourages residents to take pride in where they live by treating their surroundings with respect.
