Make the Environment Better… Don’t Pee On the Floor!

by Matt Embrey on May 29th, 2009

My friend Greg sent me this photo he took of a cryptic public message posted above a urinal in a bathroom at the airport in Taipei.

Citing the lower carbon emissions and the fact that chipmunks don't explode when they hit a tree, the Empire insists they are doing their part to protect the fragile environment of Endor. Critics have dismissed this as green washing citing the Empire's continued use of the enormous AT-AT Walkers which one study shows release more toxic gasses into the atmosphere than Jaba the Hutt.
