Legal Quandary

Little. Yellow. Different.

Yesterday E. Spat reported that Hippieville has made it illegal to throw away recyclables. Predictably, TVPNU has taken it to a whole new level. From an email received just moments ago...
Beginning January 1, 2005, TVPNM City Council's ordinance requiring all businesses to recycle paper takes effect. TVPNU Recycling needs your support in helping TVPNU to comply with this new law. To inform all students, faculty, and staff of the paper ban, a major advertising and promotional campaign will be launched. The theme for the campaign will become a familiar phrase around campus: Stop. Think. Recycle. Along with informational posters and sandwich boards around campus, a competition will be held, open to all students, faculty, and staff. Recyclers will find small, squishy, yellow toy brains around campus. These brains represent the 'Think' aspect of the campaign. They can be kept (and hopefully displayed prominently) or recycled at the Student Union Information Desk to be entered into prize drawings in January and February. Please visit universitywebsite.com for more information about campus recycling and the paper ban. TVPNU Recycling would like to thank the TVPNU community in advance for helping keep paper out of the trash.

Trust me to be on the lookout for any stray yellow squishy toy (it's a good thing they specified) brains. If I should be so lucky as to find one, I'll be posting a photo. See what I'm willing to do for you?
