but we need a public who is willing to
help. I like the idea of the water
balloon war mixed with the issue of
pollution.

because the water situation is
important and the water balloons
can help

The water balloons have the
capacity to generate awareness
about the situation.

balloons leave an infographic
explaining the situation of those
water balloons as in the available
Sketch drinkable water in Mexico.
 Leave a sign that informs the
percentage of balloons “polluted”

Idea #3 (and how it is represented in the

water inside them) and try the luck
