This afternoon, Luke and I visited 'Toys R Us' nottingham to continue our campaign against irresponsibly sourced wood used in the packaging of toys. Aswell as targeting Barbie from Mattel, we are also trageting Hasbro and Disney. However, we weren't the only ones. we joined in with the hundereds of other teams around the country in an attempt to sticker Barbies, Transformers, and Disney Princesses from major toy retailers in the UK.

We stuck warning signs on the products in the hope of making the public aware that if they buy these products they are funding rainforest destruction. On top of this we left bad reviews on all of the products on online retailers such as Amazon. Hopefully the companies responsible will be forced to react when they realize that using destructive packaging methods does not pay off.
