What kid doesn't love Brio? They have fantastic wooden trains and wooden building sets and I have fantastic memories from childhood playing with their toys. Yet, when I recently opened a new set to play with my little brother, I was surprised to see how many plastic bags were inside to wrap individual toy pieces. Toy parts were divided by bags and there were even plastic bags within plastic bags.
Plan Toys (Plantoys.com), another great company for wooden kid toys, packages all their toy pieces in small paper bags inside the box. They use no plastic in their packaging.
Could Brio do the same?
Ask Brio to take responsibility for the plastic they put out into the environment with their toy packaging methods.
Plastic is ruining our environment and notably, our oceans, and making our ecosystem suffer. Though plastic is needed in our modern society, so much of it is just wasteful and could be reduced and eliminated. Toy packaging is one example.
Brio (brio.net) is an international company selling millions of toys each each all over the world. Changing their packaging methods would make a major impact.
Sign my petition to request that Brio change their toy inner packaging material from plastic to paper and follow the ecological methods that Plan Toys currently use!
Dear Brio,
Dear Brio,
Everyone loves your toys, so please love the environment and begin packaging your toys in paper instead of plastic. Please take the environmentally conscious example from Plan Toys, your new competitor in the toy market. They package their toys in biodegradable paper. You sell millions of toys each year---this simple change in packaging could make our world so much better.
Thank you.
