The People for Environmental Protection (PEP) student group came up with a humorous way to get their message across. Last week, the group posted small, handwritten signs on the paper towel dispensers of various bathrooms around the school, reading “think of the trees as you wipe your hands on their corpses.” PEP president Charlotte Hughes explains that the signs were meant to raise awareness.

“Thinking about little things such as how many paper towels you use might not seem like a big deal, but we are trying to raise awareness about how much every little thing makes a difference, and if referencing the corpses of trees is something that works, we will try it!” Hughes said. These signs relay the very serious issue of natural resource consumption in a crude, yet funny way.
