It is not different in South Africa, the cities are endowed with many posters and flyers for advertising. This paper looks at the impact of these forms of advertising on the environment and the health of the citizens. The paper discusses ways in which the government can intervene to regulate advertisement industry in order to make the environment clean. By using observation participants method, the paper also looks at the role of the church in environmental health.
