Presentation Description
Presentation description
Trash Revolution: How did we get here, garbage-wise? I start with an early examination of how people lived and the garbage they created and compare it to our waste issues today. The presentation includes audience participation and slideshow.
Mad for Ads: I discuss the history of advertising directly to and for children. What tools do marketers use to convince us to buy things? How can we become media literate and still appreciate pop culture? The presentation includes a group game and slideshow.
