Help Stop Waste Vintage Educational Poster (November 10, 1986)

This is a vintage educational or motivational poster dated November 10, 1986, as indicated in the upper right corner. The poster features a colorful cartoon illustration of a young girl in a kitchen setting, surrounded by several cereal boxes (with parody names like 'Cap\'n Yum' and 'Super Crunchies') and various small toys. She is shown pouring out a box of cereal onto the floor in search of the 'prize inside,' creating a substantial mess and waste. The central message 'Help stop waste' is printed in a bold, black sans-serif typeface at the bottom. The poster is printed on white paper stock with a semi-gloss finish. The artwork utilizes a bright, primary color palette including greens, reds, and yellows, characteristic of 1980s instructional materials designed for schools or community centers. Small copyright text and a logo for 'Clement Communications, Inc.' are visible in the bottom right and left margins. The condition appears fair to good; there is a noticeable horizontal crease across the middle and some light curling at the edges, suggesting it has been stored rolled. No significant foxing, sun bleaching, or major tearing is visible in the provided image. The style is typical of American graphic design for educational ephemera of the mid-1980s.
