- When TIME chose Endangered Earth as Planet of the Year for
- 1988, the magazine's inquiry into the global threat of
- environmental disaster was also intended to be, in the words
- of our editors, an "agenda for urgent action." That mission has
- now been joined by TIME's publishing side. In April, I
- challenged the country's advertising agencies to create
- Earth-saving messages, and offered to provide a national
- showcase for the winners. More than 325 firms submitted
- entries, and a 13-member panel of art directors and copywriters
- picked the best 10. The winners were chosen from eight regions,
- corresponding to TIME's branch advertising-sales offices, plus
- two "at large" selections. The ads were displayed at the Plaza
- Hotel on Oct. 10 during an awards luncheon, with TIME and the
- Advertising Club of New York as hosts. Each will appear in
- TIME's pages in the coming months.
