Erected at the US-Canada border near Vancouver, B.C. is a [steel mesh “billboard”](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worlds-heaviest-billboard) cleverly created by Lead Pencil Studio. Instead of using a generic billboard advertisement, the studio decided to boost the knowledge regarding clean air, and the most effective way became a void artistic expression of health and design.

The Lead Pencil Studio advertisement was commissioned by the [U.S. federal government](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mad-fuel-system) and resembles television static. Its strong message however, undeniably conveys the dire need for clean air and eco-friendly living.
