Overview: Learn about the benefits of plant-based diets for the environment and environmental justice, or about the history of milk as a commodity.

Stages:

2. Preparation and Planning
Choose a specific environmental harm and dig deeper into its root causes, effects, and solutions.
Learn about other successful campaigns that hinged on environmental issues.
Create an annotated bibliography listing five sources, their publication date and institution, a credibility statement, and a summary of the source and how it will be used in the campaign.
3. Action
Generate an outline for the campaign. Write a creative brief and add elements: stakeholders, timeline, levers of change, types of elements and materials, and risks.
