Is that advert backlit ALL DAY?
Think. Think twice. Think about industrial energy use and lack of government enforcing landlords to install insulation and solar

Eh, I can give a pass to this because even if it wasn’t this ad, another one would be in its place burning the same amount of energy.

If this university hadnt bought this meaningless advert it would have a tiny reduction in the demand for advertising potentially leading to less always lit billboards being made. So no, they dont get a pass for it.

I think a fairer argument is to see how many people actually reduced their screen time. Then, see if that offset the run time of this ad. In that case, this sign doesn’t get a pass because we all know the answer to that question.

Wouldn’t it still be more useful to display an ad criticizing this kind of 24/7 lit ad?
