It was found that websites sources exhibited great differences in the means of expression and visual classification of the visual images such as photographs graphics figures and tables. Environmental conservation campaign in the United States was more likely to use non-representational painting such as cartoon and drawing. Japan tended to show qualitative and quantitative graphs and diagrams. To promote their environmental concerns Germany and the United Kingdom used non-representation photographs and photographs of current events respectively.
