I thought that may be the Jobsite doesn't endorse the Go Green Campaign, so i updated the following picture and got the same message.




The last try that i would now do is to get myself photographed in a studio in a formal wear to confirm if i am objectionable or not.


Meanwhile i would like to know about your opinion. :)
