Making Green

Proof that green is in: it can be found in advertisements completely unrelated to the environment and, of course, horribly misused. I found this ad prominently displayed on each and every table in the dining area inside my office building, having been placed there by the catering company that supplies and maintains the cafeteria. It seems to imply that if you'd like to help the planet (recycle! reuse! ...refuel?), you can do your part by, uh, ordering a combo meal. I'm not entirely sure that is what the ad designer had in mind and, in truth, I have no idea what this ad is supposed to say other than "you should purchase a drink and chips with your meal". Too bad those additions don't actually get you any type of discount, negating the very concept of a combo meal.

Extra green bonus points for the including both modern day icons of the antithesis of reuse and reduction: a bottle of water and the inefficient, incandescent light bulb.
