Hello everybody,

Today I decided to comment on article on deforestation, particularly on the causes of industrialization on ecosystems.

Indeed, the article I commented on is titled "Barbie & Mattel's suit deforestation goes' viral". I chose this article because I think we are all actors in society and we have all the choice to consumer well and effectively without destroying what is around us.

Thus, the problem in this article, it is that Mattel, large toy manufacturer, uses the practice of deforestation, and that, just to package Barbie dolls in "nice boxes" that end up in the trash. Therefore, as we know, the cardboard packaging needed for this comes from deforestation (here, these are the "forest of Indonesia"). Through this deforestation, we tend to forget that animals like the last Sumatra tiger, orang utan stay in forest, and that if deforestation doesn't stop, it will have to disappear.

Ultimately, following a small video about the break between "Ken and Barbie" on deforestation seen on the web, it seems that the manufacturer Mattel agrees to stop using products from deforestation in these toys. Of course, Mattel shall pay nothing in this new commitment. But, we are all responsible for our actions, we have the choice to consume or to boycott goods from deforestation !

I hope this comment will not leave you indifferent about your consumer choices and as Christmas is coming soon, so you will choose "green" toys to offer your little nieces and nephews in mind all these animals !

See you soon.
