PSA is a public service announcement, an awareness campaign.

It could be as simple as teaching everyone to walk on the same side of the footpath in each direction, to demonstrating how quickly a fire spreads and ways to prevent and react.

Stop throwing trash on the street and/or the adjacent farmland because it ends up in the dirt thus the food. Also same with the ocean.

    Stop throwing trash [...] because it ends up in the dirt thus the food.

    This reminds me that most of the anti-littering ads I've seen are more about shaming or about dying wildlife than about direct impact to all of us. This is an issue that could be simple to illustrate with a video PSA, following how littered trash contaminants find their way into our food chain and to our mouths. Makes it more personal and hopefully icky enough.

    Don’t Mess with Texas was a successful anti-littering campaign because it was empowering to protect the place. I like the tone your propose, informative but not demeaning. Instead, the municipalities focus more on recycling bins, but not enough trash cans (especially ones that get emptied regularly) so it’s unfortunately a systemic problem
