Signs

As you have by now figured out; I have really enjoyed the signs here in China. Of course, there is the humor that can be found in the Chinglish Translations where we try and figure out exactly what was supposed to be communicated versus what was actually communicated. But I suppose there is also the fun in discussing not only the message intended, but also the resultant message based on the words, pictures, location, etc.; the fun in discussing a message which was, well, maybe not directly intended.

That is what I am offering to you today.

When you see the sign below, you will immediately recognize the message that is intended. A message that we see and hear almost constantly in our world of Global Warming/Cooling (depending upon which science you currently subscribe).

But in this case, in this particular context, I think the more noble message was lost.
Very lost.

In fact, regardless of what global region you are in whether it be the west, Asia, Europe, “NAMESTAN”, or points in between; there are times when being environmentally conscious is just going a wee bit too far.

I mean is this REALLY the message we want to send our children? Our friends? Our global neighbors?

You make the call.
