Barbie update and other stuff

Barbie deforestation reviews on Amazon

The Barbie campaign is moving on a pace.  Now Mattel who make Barbie have said that they will develop a deforestation policy.  Develop one?  Why don't they have one in place already?  While this is good news the bad news is that they have not set a date for this to happen so we are going to keep up the pressure on Mattel.  If you have stickers you can put them on Barbie dolls in 'The Entertainer' and Toys'R'Us.  I had a look at John Lewis the other day and they don't have any Barbies  in the Nottingham store.  But be a bit more careful than in supermarkets as although there are fewer assistants they do tend to rove around a lot more and there are fewer customers in the store.  They also have a habit of creeping up behind you and asking if they can help.  So make sure you have the legal support helpline with you when you go out.

Anyway, for those of you without stickers you can give a damning review of Barbie products on on-line retailers such as Amazon.  There are plenty there already. 

And if you haven't emailed Mattel yet you can also do that.  To date over 200,000 emails have been sent to Mattel.  let's make it at least a quarter of a million!
