The folks at Greenpeace are seemingly everywhere these days. And quite frankly they need to be stopped. His name is Wang Xiaojun, and he is China's Greenpeace Spokesman. His message, if you're coming to the Beijing Olympics bring your own chopsticks.
Seriously!?!?!
No Joke.
The concern is that the disposable chopsticks being used in your everyday chinese food restaurant (of which aparrently China has a shitload of) contribute to deforestation.
Well huh!?!?
The worst part is that the Chinese government is listening. China's government has placed a tax on disposable chopsticks and they're "encouraging" restaurants not to use them. Look I'm one of those that believes that we need to do more about this Global Warming problem but seriously...CHOPSTICKS!!!!
Oil just hit $100 a barrel and Wang is worried about chopsticks.
