1. Erect a shrine to fossil fuels, situated so that it is the first building seen upon entry.
2. Render that pavilion benign through the display of images of the Gulf of Mexico cartoons.

5. Reduce the use of raw materials on unnecessary amenities, such as seating (foreground) and shading (background).
6. Reuse waste items whenever possible (for example: nighttime bicycle lights made extraneous by China’s glorious transition to a country of personal automobiles).
7. Recycle.
8. Achieve maximum beautification and environmental harmony through an appropriate ratio of greenery : concrete.
9. Prohibit the use of Chinese trees for production of all paper products.
10. Require that every country establish an emissions-free transportation option inside their pavilion.
11. Vigorously practice resource conservation.

Hi Elizabeth,
I saw that “Paper not from trees” too! That “Recycle” point is really funny.
Very nicely assembled photomontage. Only trouble is this, EB. Your Twitter account hasn’t been updated since Feb., and you’re not on Facebook! :-( Could we attribute all of this social media silence to the #GFW?
I’m going to crosspost this now to Posterous.
Your man on the cobbles,
ADM
ps Hi Baoru!
Hey Adam!
Well, I can access FB. In fairness to EB, different styles, different approach with regards to social media.
