The news of LEGO's cosy relationship with Shell has led to tiny protests erupting around the country - nay, the world. Famous national and international landmarks have been festooned with banners as the streets resounded the stamp of little plastic feet. What a day it's been.

Greenpeace today launched a major new
global campaign targeting the world’s biggest toy company [1], LEGO. They’ll be
mobilising more than 5 million online Arctic supporters and thousands of
activists to take creative action in six continents as part of the campaign
[2]. There have already been high-profile protests just this morning at
LEGOLAND in the UK.
In a new report [3], released
today, Greenpeace accuse LEGO of putting sales above its commitment to the
environment and children’s futures.

What has Lego got to
do with the Arctic?
Lego has a longstanding relationship with Shell, with plans
to renew its deal later this year.
Shell wants to drill for oil in the Arctic. The only reason
they’re able to do this is because the Arctic ice is melting because of climate
change. Something that oil companies are responsible for. Scientists say that
it’s extremely risky to drill in the Arctic and any oil spill in those freezing
conditions would be impossible to clean up.

Lego protest in front of cathedral
Imagine you’re eight years old and picture the Arctic. There are no oil rigs, no
industrial shipping and no politicians fighting over it.
It’s just an endless sparkling expanse of sea and ice, populated by brave scientific
explorers, magical animals and Indigenous Peoples who have called the far north
home for millennia. An enchanted place to explore, create stories and let your imagination run free.
