Why were there campaigns during the war? 
The war meant that many things were going to be limited and rationed. As a result, posters/slogans were created to be a motivation and reminder for the population to avoid unnecessary consumption of food/clothes/equipment/etc. It encouraged them to turn to recycling, and saving whatever materials they could.
Some items that were recycled during WWII included:
• Tins and Metal - For aircraft and tanks, weapons etc.
• Boiled Bones - To make glue for aircraft and glycerine for explosives.
• Kitchen Waste - For feeding pigs, goats and chickens.
• Paper - for munitions.
• Rubber - for tyres (ring-shaped protective covering around a wheel).

Examples of Slogans during the War:
'Careless Talk Costs Lives'
'Dig For Victory''Look Out In The Blackout'
'V for Victory''Hitler will send no warning'
'Save kitchen waste for the pigs'
'Mothers, send them out of London'
'Careless talk costs'
The slogan 'Careless talk costs lives' was launched on February 6, 1940. It was the slogan of a nationwide campaign that intended to prevent people from gossiping and allowing important information from getting into the hands of the enemy.
