Imperfect Fruits and Vegetables Can Save the Earth
吃醜蔬果救地球
Imperfect Foods isn' t the only company dealing with the
problem of food waste. An advertising company, Marcel Worldwide, started a
unique advertising campaign in Europe called Inglorious Fruits ＆ Vegetables. Its aim was to raise awareness
about the link between food waste and climate change. It featured clever
posters that used clear and colorful photos of ugly - looking fruits and
vegetables. The photos were combined with catchy headlines and a little humor
to educate everyday customers.
不完美食物並不是唯一一家處理食物浪費問題的公司。一家廣告公司 ─ 「馬塞爾全球」 ─ 在歐洲發起了一場叫做「不體面的蔬果」的獨特宣傳活動。它的目的是提高人們對於食物浪費與氣候變遷關聯性的認知。它以巧妙的海報為特色，使用清晰多彩的醜蔬果照片。這些照片與朗朗上口的標題和一點幽默相結合，以教育日常消費者。
