All in all its just another brick in the wall
Written by John MacphersonLego. It’s great stuff. My wee lad loves it. (Personally speaking I prefer Meccano – more imagination and finesse required in my fumble opinion).
What’s Lego made from? Plastic I guess. Where does that come from? Well some is synthetic, but mostly it’s from oil.
What better tie up then than Shell and Lego…….
But all is not as it seems…….as the most excellent Greenpeace video pouring scorn on the partnership reveals, as featured in Alex King’s article “Polluting Kid’s Imaginations’ on Huck Magazine:
UPDATE:
UPDATE 2:
It appears to have also been removed from Vimeo.

Thanks, John. It certainly gets the message over.
OH!…Chissoe David Iron, my college bodyguard.
Lots more on this giant and giant-hearted amigo.
He had the scars of three sundances.
No telling where I would be without his schooling me.
I saved his life once…bleeding ulcer, got him to a
native-American hospital he could trust.
I would enjoy adding to the loving marks he left.

Hi Bill – you’re a friend of Chissoe! Great that you found this blog and my story of meeting him. Big man, made a big impression on me. I’ll see if I can post your comment on the original article.
Thanks for getting in touch!

Sorry that I don’t know how to work this thing enough to tie my comment to Chissoe’s articles. Wow got his pictures! No mistaking this angel of my time
in Oklahoma. Bill is Chissoe’s friend!
