I am delighted to hear that many of the imported toys will not be making it to our shops for Christmas! I had a walk around a toy superstore with the wife a couple of weeks ago and was disgusted with the amount of PC there was on sale. Todays toys are tomorrows landfill or worse, ocean fill. I remember seeing folks singing the praises of "last forever" plastics many years ago. I see the results of "failed" plastic parts regularly and these failures are becoming positively dangerous in mechanical, automotive and electrical environments. "Old" technology may have been overdesigned but it oulasted the throwaway society that we now find ourselves in. Before you buy a plastic toy for your young ones, check if it is recyclable first. Many plastics are not!!! The other problem is that they are transported half way around the world to be "dumped" on our doorsteps!
