I love LEGO. There's a great chance you love LEGO. Everyone loves LEGO.
But when LEGO's halo effect is being used to sell sets like these, from a company that's busy destroying the natural world that OUR children will inherit, we have to do something.
Children's imaginations are an unspoilt wilderness. Help stop Shell polluting them by telling LEGO to stop selling Shell-branded bricks and kits.

There literally is not a positive side to Shell-branded sets. I don't really think there's a single kid out there who wants to play with an oil rig playset. Shell is using LEGO to clean up it's image for dirty oil drilling. If you haven't already, please, help tell LEGO to cut ties with Shell andSave the Arctic!

Except you seem to forget, everything plastic based is made from well, petrol in one form or another. So you want to save the arctic? Never buy anything with plastic, gas, medicine ever again.
Now what apparebtly went on here is someone specifically targetting the lego company especially because its successful and can make tons of money off of it. I could make a same video saying "Dont buy condoms, save the arctic". See what i mean?

Very true, I think the only thing they are kicking up a fuss about is endorsing oil drilling

But LEGO, the biggest toy company in the world, has built its brand on continued promise of leaving a better world for children. And by teaming up with Shell it's letting kids down.
Global warming is perhaps the biggest threat facing all children around the world, and protecting the Arctic is about protecting the climate. By letting Shell get its oily hands' on toys, LEGO is allowing Shell to pretend it's a caring, family friendly company and helping it to get away with its Arctic aggresion.

I am honestly sorry but i find it quite odd for someone to get mad at a company for not following its sayings. Its like thinking KFC gives you real chicken or something. Most companies are owned by larger corporations, usually oil industries as they make by far the most money. I was surprised that LEGO was still not owned by anyone. Want to get mad at someone? Try getting mad at corporations like Greenpeace etc for stealing most of the donation money for their own purposes and giving like 10% for the purposes you donated for
