It’s not about the enviroment. It’s about virtue-signaling strongly enough to protect their business interests. You won’t see “Lego Buys Carbon Credits” as a headline on HN.
- threeseed 8y agoIt's far simpler and less cynical than that. The majority of people in this world want the world to be clean and free of the effects of climate change. Companies are comprised of these people. Hence there will always be internal struggles to "do your part" from employees. Especially since that often ends up making products that are more sustainable not just environmentally friendly. And so win-win for everyone.
- icc97 8y agoI agree with your synicism. But I still think it's a good thing. It might be a insignificant amount of plastic but it's a very visible use of plastic. Plus it's one less company using plastic which raises pressure on the others. Finally if through their research/testing they do come up with durable alternatives to plastic it's a win for us all.
