Umm…I guess it would be some kind of recycle or “green” image. I think this works as a symbol because like recycling or some other kind of good-doing involving improving the planet is what the characters in “Just Add Water” do to their town. Like recycling and the like, these activities have a positive effect on the world around us. Ray and his gang taking down Durk and his meth lab and tyrannical ruling of the town have a positive effect on everyone because they are all freed from having to pay to get into the town etc. Also, it starts to rain after they apprehend Durk, signifying that their deeds will ensure the restoration of the town.
In addition to this evidence, I also think a “recycle” symbol fits this film because a large theme in this movie is the way we waste and consume natural resources and how they affect the environment and us. Ray does his part to restore the environment by picking up trash, and as an audience, we wish more could be done to save the town. Eventually, Ray delivers. But, if the town had recycled their toxic waste properly in the first place, they wouldn’t be stuck in the predicament that they’re in.
