NEWS INTRO

---------------------

We all know that plastic toys may be unnecessary or end up in the landfill, but it’s good to know that huge companies like Mattel are now using bioplastic and making their products more sustainable.

 

They debuted new certified CarbonNeutral toys this week from their popular MEGA BLOKS line for tots, and recently released a Matchbox Tesla Roadster, its first die-cast vehicle made from 99% recycled materials, which is currently sold out.

 

These are moves toward the company’s goal to achieve 100% recycled, recyclable, or bio-based plastic materials in all its toys and packaging by 2030.

 

in other news it is national burrito day

See the best of your peers artwork from this year, works from elementary, middle and high school. It will be on exhibit through May 5th.
