I wonder how much plastic waste the Lego company has added to the environment?

  I don't see why Lego needs to be singled out here. It is (by volume and weight) a relatively expensive product and it's not like anyone is buying bricks by the ton and dumping them from trucks. Besides, it is one of the most reusable toys to ever exist.

  If it's plastic in use does it matter? Legos don't get thrown out. They almost never break with the exception of a few exotic pieces that are a big more fragile. Even clips are surprisingly durable. Compare this with dolls, trucks, etc that break after 6 months and do end up in the trash. Phones, laptops, TVs these create so much more waste than bricks that are still perfectly usable 40 years later - I know, I have a lot.
