Thank you for this article! It is vital for us all to realize the difference between single-use or short-use plastics and durable life-long plastics. Lego tried and tested and analyzed the results of bio-based bricks, and, although I will always cherish those test components in my Lego sets, has realized this is a distraction to the real potential in how they do business. Kudos to them.
In tying this to the building industry - let's focus on building building for the exceptionally long life they can have and in a way that reduces operational carbon to null, and embodied carbon as much as possible, while eliminating toxins from those materials. Let's focus on how those buildings will serve, be updated, serve for longer, and inspire generations.
Quote: Or, “Lego is putting profits ahead of the planet.”
Let's be clear—this is not from your usual suspects but the GREENS themselves, e.g. Sustainable Plastics. The TRUE skeptics and "deniers" have been saying for years that (as Lloyd pointed out) the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics still applies, whether or not anyone on the far-left wants to believe it or not.
Yes, plastics are great stuff.
No, banning plastic bags isn't going to save the planet.
Yes, it makes more sense to reuse than waste.
No, it can't be done for all applications, especially for something like bottled water containers.
Lloyd,

Looking forward to your comments on the long-awaited demise of the pathetic version of TREEHUGGER after you were forced out Lloyd...

Some real good stuff here.
