The campaign, produced by DDB Shanghai for the China Environmental Protection Foundation, encourages the Chinese to do their bit for environmental protection by walking more and driving less. It was also shortlisted in the Outdoor category at Cannes earlier this week.

Last night at the DDB China Group office in Shanghai, there was late night excitement as Jody Xiong and his team learned the results.
"It was once only a dream for me, but last night it came true," said chief creative officer Michael Dee.
"We're all incredibly proud of our team," said DDB China Group president and CEO Dick van Motman. "We always knew their work was world class, so its very rewarding to receive this recognition from the Lions jury members who represent the cutting edge in global communications."
The 'Green pedestrian crossing' campaign also won a silver award at this year's Clio awards in the Poster category.
