Signs of Cleaner Beaches Campaign

As we all know, there is nothing more disappointing than arriving at what you expected to be a pristine site and general family fun just to find... cigarette butts and other garbage on your beach and in the water! With this in mind, Silvia Kraemer of Diafimin Advertising & Design, created and donated large signs for local beaches that depict the type of garbage that we tend to generate and how long that garbage will take to corrode. You might have seen these signs in the beaches in the Southern Suburbs of Athens (Glyfada & Voula), and hopefully they have made you and others think twice about the garbage left behind.

The signs are made of weather-resistant plexi-glass with an anti-graffiti surface. They are eye-catchingly colorful and informative.

Silvia Kraemer created these signs and contacted various municipalities about setting them up and they agreed to display them immediately. The sponsor also agreed to produce them right away. The signs and Ms. Kraemer have gotten press coverage in Germany, and there are talks to display them there and in Northern Greece as well.

Maybe next time you go swimming, you and your family will see these signs... and find yourselves in a cleaner beach environment.

Silvia Kraemer is a freelance graphics-designer.
