While social media is criticized for its rampant use by teenagers indulging in a pseudo virtual society, social media, on the other hand, can be a powerful tool to create awareness about social issues and the plight of the environment. Social media advertising especially that seek to highlight social issues, aims at awareness in our minds and hearts to force a rethink on our actions, cease to remain indifferent and be more vocal if not act upon our beliefs and convictions to do the right thing.
