reasons• Open to helping if asked to do something that fits into existing
routines

future generations

CONCEPT : THE OCEAN THANKS YOU
8
Rationale:• Doing laundry is a thankless job.
• Despite the many unavoidable steps it involves, our audience doesn’tget much credit for their efforts.
• If they switch to cold, this small change will not only be appreciated,but will make a positive impact on the environment.
