Eco Lego

Hooray for Lego.
The LEGO group announced it reached its goal of balancing 100 percent of its energy use with renewable sources.

"We see children as our role models and as we take action in reducing our environmental impact as a company, we will also continue to work to inspire children around the world by engaging them in environmental and social issues," Padda said.
