To show Beirut what planned waste incinerators would do to its air, a coalition raised a 35-metre installation near a proposed site that streamed harmless black smoke over the city.

التحدي
During Lebanon's long garbage crisis, the government planned incinerators that critics said would add pollution and harm public health. The danger was invisible, so few people engaged with it.
الفكرة
Impact BBDO built a 35-metre flag-like art installation, inspired by the work of Irish artist John Gerrard, that released non-toxic black smoke visible across Beirut. Outdoor ads ran in the affected zone, and the messaging sent people to StopTheIncinerators.me to sign a petition.
