To LEGO: Please switch to recycled plastic!

Lego cranks out 20 billion Lego bricks a year. The plastic used in Lego is mostly acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, or ABS. Acrylonitrile is produced from propylene and ammonia; butadiene is a petroleum hydrocarbon and styrene monomers are derived from coal. It%u2019s quite a chemical and fossil fuel cocktail.

Sign this petition asking LEGO to:  switch to more sustainable manufacturing practices including recycled plastic; implement a recycle program--send your old legos back to Lego to be re-created into "used" kits.
