Credit where credit is due. Lego is an inherently reusable product. It is regularly passed down in families. So I don't much care that it isn't recyclable or made from recycled content. Go after all the cheap plastic toys designed to break a week after Christmas to make room for the next must-have thing.
- pipeline_peak 3y agoWhen I was 5 my dad used a couple Lego bricks for his corvette lol
- jpk 3y agoPlease elaborate!
- pipeline_peak 3y agoHe used it to hold down something on the rear windshield of the car, I cant quite remember.
- jonhohle 3y agoMy kids are playing with Lego that belonged to my mother when she was a child! With the exception of Lincoln Log, Erector Sets, and Tinker Toys, I don’t know if any other toys we’ve given them with such pedigree. Going into teenage years they still play with 50+ year old Lego, which are forward compatible with all of my sets from childhood and all of their new sets. Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys lost their interest a long time ago, and erector set hasn’t caught in, except for some school projects.
- vanderZwan 3y agoI guess an argument could be made that discarded lego bricks are a much bigger problem most other plastic products, given their durability. But nobody ever throws lego away.
- sandworm101 3y agoOr less of a problem. If they are durable then they won't break down and contribute to the microplastics problem. There are worse things than sitting inert deep inside a landfill.
- peteradio 3y agoThe volume of Lego discarded is a drop in the ocean compared to all other plastics. I expect most Lego leaves homes unintentionally inside a vacuum bag.
