13 year old Jonathan Lee, who has gained minor celebrity by campaigning for various “green” causes throughout the world, has set his sights on a new villain: fast food restaurants. Lee, who developed the website GoGreenMan.com, wants fast food restaurants to start recycling, and he is prepared to cause a bit of a ruckus to get their attention.
Lee has been standing outside of a McDonald’s restaurant in his hometown of Ridgeland, Mississippi, holding a sign that says, “FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS RECYCLE PLEASE” and “We need It!” for three days now. He intends to demonstrate every day until April 22, which is Earth Day.
“This is my first day, and I’m a little nervous,” said Lee. “But it’s very important that fast food restaurants recycle.”
We should all be inspired by his dedication and vision. And it’s high time that we look for ways to contribute.
Personally, I will contribute to the fast food recycling cause as I always have. About four minutes after I eat any fast food, I will recycle the food. Then, with my hand on my butt, I will run around madly looking for some sort of recycling depository — preferably a toilet. If I don’t find a depository, or if one is not readily available because I’ve eaten the fast food while in a car, I will temporarily deposit the recycled food into my underpants. I will then curse fast food and swear to never again eat it. This vow will last until I’m somewhat hungry and within ten miles of a Taco Bell.
And the great cycle continues.
