Most of the intelligent little girls I know don’t give a flying burrito about eco-friendliness and other adult problems like that. They care about playing with their toys and appreciating their childhood. Denying a child her Barbie and telling her that it isn’t eco-friendly only denies the little girl a desired plaything (and potential friend) and fills her head with thoughts that she shouldn’t be worrying about until she’s in college. You greengeek hippies need to be a little more selfish. Instead of catering to the whims of an ugly ape in Indonesia, focus more on your little girl and what she wants.

And if what she wants is an eco-friendly toy, then congrats. You’ve turned your child into an idiot.

That last statement says it all for me. I’m in school to become a teacher, and since I’ve learned to spell it has literally BOGGLED MY MIND that children’s toys can be made by a company called “PlaySkool”. And ice cream parlours named “Dairee Delite”, “Toys ‘R’ Us”. There’s not even a step forward. It’s just a whole bunch of steps backward.
