Littering the Earth with Letters

First off I just want to say that everyday should Earth Day. Duh! We need to save Mother Earth before she kills us.

That goes without saying.

But I also have noticed that humans like to litter their immediate environment with rules on metal signs, billboards, chalkboards, post-its, napkins, whatever.

For instance, while I was in my physical therapist’s office the other day I was assaulted with 

·        Don’t use our plant as a trashcan

·        Do not put your feet up on our furniture

·        Please put the pen back in its holder

·        Do not change the channel on the TV. It will not change

All four of those signs exist just in the waiting room! More signs awaited me behind the gym door.

When you think about it, how many signs do you see a day?

• Left turn only on green
• No yield
• Wrong way
• No food or drinks allowed
• Clean up the microwave when you’re done
• No parking between 9pm-6am
• Project financed by X
• Open for business
• Violators will be towed
• Public notice signs

And then there are your personal handwritten post-its you clutter your workspace with.

Why can’t we just leave the world alone in its au natural clean state? No, we have to pander to the somewhat forgetful and/or advertisers/dumb people on this planet.

So wait…could that mean that stupid forgetful advertisers are behind this littering campaign?

Yes! Maybe.

We need to gather people! And we make signs to protest the stupid people! Who’s behind me?!

Wait… let me make a note of it on my post-it for tomorrow.
