Even if you keep it for decades it's got millennia left to be someone else's trash and landfill, so it's still worth substituting something that biodegrades.

- thrower123 7y agoNo thanks. The older bricks break down and become brittle and discolored if exposed to sunlight enough already.

- zaarn 7y agoDestroy the environment because you want bricks to not discolor after 10 years? I guess, sure, that's how we got into the climate change problem too, why not for the plastic problem?
- Arbalest 7y agoA product that doesn't last multiple generations to be passed down, and justified by the use of green materials? Sounds like a business dream.
- cure 7y agoI've got some from ~25 years ago that are discolored due to exposure to sunlight. There are ways to fix that (http://lego.jtooker.com/whitening/ http://lego.jtooker.com/whitening/). I haven't noticed them getting brittle, though. I've also got some bricks that are much older (from the 60s I think), and are still usable. They haven't spent time in the sun, so they are not even discolored.
