Can Someone Explain This?

I submit this as the most non-sensical picture ever taken. I've looked at it for hours and can not even find the words to explain it. If you have any awesome insight in to what it means, post in the comments.
My best guess is that it's a political commentary on how corporations are making an intentionally futile attempt at environmentalism in order to impress consumers, but maybe that just shows how much time I've wasted in trying to figure out this picture.

I've given it a solid hour, and I don't get it either. I'm thinking pure evil... purifying the water... futility...

I keep thinking: why doesn't he just use the force?

Ahem, Uh… Ok.
The photo of Darth Vader is a semiological adaption of the industrial revolution. The industrial revolution to me is just like a story I know called “The Puppy Who Lost his Way.” The world was changing and the puppy was ... getting … bigger.

So you see the puppy was like industry in that they were both lost in the woods. And nobody, especially the little boy - "society" – knew where to find him. Except that the puppy was a dog, but the industry my friends – that was a revolution.
