Help take a stand

Of course you don’t. You’re not a heartless bastard. (unless you’re one of my heartless bastard readers, in which case today is not your day, sorry.)
Do you hate this ugly red square?
I know you do. Parking lots are ugly and hot and salty and probably smell like last week’s trash. Trust me, I walked through one barefoot last year and it was NOT a good place to be. It was actually the one in the top left there.
So in a world where those two pictures I’ve shown you are locked in mortal combat, which side are you on?
Are you Luke or are you Darth Vader?
Smog or puppies? (or better yet, cute ASU girls watching you walk your puppy?)
This idea is being spearhead by the energizer of urbanists, Sean Sweat.
Better yet, follow Sean, track someone down and sign a petition. Attend the event. High-five the man with the beard himself. And help the planet be a better place in the meantime.
Ryan, I love your blog, it’s hilarious! And good. I think your mortal combat anology sums up this parking lot dilemma pretty well.
Thank-you for your compliments. From someone I regard as rather insightful, that means a good amount to me.
Always glad I can help spread a little attention to a good cause.
FYI – here’s the event Mr. Glass is talking about

Thank you for the post, Ryan!
