Play It Again Sports has a chain of stores that sells used and quality sporting equipment at reasonable prices. Their target audience has primarily accumulated into families with growing kids.

The purpose is to tug at the audience’s heartstrings and make them more mindful of their damaging impact on the environment. The goal is to motivate the audience to think twice and recycle their equipment as pollution and climate change are prevalent problems for all living beings.

Sketches of sporting equipment invading animals' habitats.
Sketches of sporting equipment becoming adopted by new families.

The concept of this campaign is to show images of creatures living within or with sporting equipment waste. All three photos have a dark and eerie feel representing how human pollution takes up space for other creatures to co-exist.
