Brief Explanation

The core idea of this campaign is to make people act against the dirty business of the commodities giant Trafigura. As the company pollutes the air with dirty diesel in Ghana and other West African countries, we sent the dirty air back to the sender with the help of African activists. A big stunt - local activists collecting air - in Ghana kicked off the campaign, then the container was shipped to Switzerland. On the way, we generated real and relevant participation and interaction. In the end, the dirty air was handed over to Trafigura in Geneva, with a highly media-covered Live Stunt.
