I don't consider myself overly enthusiastic about saving the world with recycling and organic products, but I do my part. I recycle plastic, aluminum, cardboard and even batteries. What bothered me today is when i was opening a new Tonka truck for Keegan and there wasn't even a mention to recycle the packaging. To most people reading this your laughing out loud or thinking who cares, but for those of you who have experience with kids toys you know that companies go to extremes when it comes to packaging. There is so much cardboard used it's ridiculous, and to hold the product in place there are these huge twist ties or even screws! It sometimes takes fifteen minutes just to open a silly toy. And nothing is more frustrating than having Keegan yelling 'truck please mama' while I'm trying to figure out how in the world to get this thing free.
My entire point behind this, is since kids go through toys so quickly shouldn't we as parents be supporting companies that promote recycled products?
Just something to think about.
Love you all!
Or campainging to have toy companies use less packaging....there has got to be a better way!
