#KidLit4Climate Campaign

#KidLit4Climate Cam­paign is a site which deals with pro­mot­ing a cam­paign in which young people strike for ur­gent cli­mate action.

This visual cam­paign was brought to life by Emma Reyn­olds, an il­lus­trator and an au­thor. She asked people to take part in this vir­tual protest by draw­ing a char­ac­ter who holds a sign in sup­port for the global strike witch took place on March 15, 2019. To her sur­prise, 1,500 il­lus­tra­tions were sent to her in less than two weeks.

KidLit4Climate is a user-friendly site. It is not overly com­plex, but it is in­stead straight­for­ward, provid­ing quick ac­cess to the in­form­a­tion. It is well-or­gan­ized, mak­ing it easy to loc­ate dif­fer­ent cat­egor­ies and op­tions. You can eas­ily find in­form­a­tion about this cam­paign, such as how it star­ted and why. 

The design is very simple. It has a white back­ground with few pic­tures which are very rep­res­ent­at­ive for what this site is talk­ing about. What I like about KidLit4Climate Cam­paign is that it presents the most im­port­ant as­pects of the cam­paign without giv­ing too many details. 

I ap­pre­ci­ate Em­ma’s ef­forts in rais­ing aware­ness of cli­mate change; by cre­at­ing this vir­tual cam­paign, she gave every­body around the world a chance to par­ti­cip­ate in this protest. All you need to do is to cre­ate a per­son who holds a sign with the hashtag #kidlit4climate writ­ten on it and then post it on Twit­ter and In­s­tagram with the tags @KidLit4Climate and #KidLit4Climate.
