Get Up Stand Up

22″ x 28″ Acrylic on recycled canvas I can’t believe I never posted this painting before. It was completed in 2018, I think it made an appearance in some shows, then it got buried behind thousands of other paintings for the last couple years. Because I believe in recycling and upcycling, I sometimes paint over other paintings, either my own or canvases that I find in thrift stores or garage…

Lego Aims to Use Plants to Make Their Bricks

What if one day the world’s Lego bricks were made from plants?

Sounds like a bit of a stretch, but it might actually happen.

Lego bricks today are made from the same type of petroleum-based plastic they were made from since 1963. Now, considering Lego’s booming success in the market, today, that’s a lot of carbon being projected into the atmosphere. Fortunately, the Lego Group’s doing something about it.

The Lego Company has devoted itself to make all of it’s Lego bricks and packaging mediums from sustainable materials by 2030. And one of the sources of these materials are plants; sugars are extracted from vegetation, such as wheat and corn, and then are used as a substitute for petroleum in the bricks. The Lego Group’s prototypes are still undergoing development, as quality, safety, and play-ability are major foundations of the company's success.

Lego has already stated that they will spend 1 billion Danish Kroners (143,317,810.00 USD) and assign at least 100 employees in order to make this happen.

So, maybe not tomorrow, but one day Lego bricks will be made from plants! Great job going green, Lego!
