Since then, Lego has publicly responded. While they refused to end their Shell partnership, they remain committed to \u201cleave a positive impact on society and the planet that children will inherit.\u201d<br \/>\nLego, you can\u2019t have it both ways. You don\u2019t get to say you\u2019re standing up for our kids\u2019 futures while partnering with a company planning to destroy the Arctic.<br \/>\nHelp Lego live up to its promise by sharing this video far and wide today.<br \/>\nWith other brands unwilling to help clean up its image, Shell will find it harder than ever distract the public from its reckless abuse of the planet. That&#8217;s why we\u2019re asking Lego to show the world that a truly ethical company knows better than to work with Shell.<br \/>\nCan you imagine what it\u2019ll look like if we pull this off? We\u2019ll send shockwaves around the business world and scare off any other company thinking of teaming up with Shell. All because people like you and I cared enough to take a stand for the future of our planet.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.e-activist.com\/ea-campaign\/broadcast.response.do?ea.url.id=253161&#038;ea.campaigner.email=%2BuXAc2Mmn8up4DDeZqpkSuPOAMSgCTs9Xp%2FwNhue%2Bnc=&#038;ea_broadcast_target_id=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.e-activist.com\/ea-campaign\/broadcast.response.do?ea.url.id=253161&#038;ea.campaigner.email=%2BuXAc2Mmn8up4DDeZqpkSuPOAMSgCTs9Xp%2FwNhue%2Bnc=&#038;ea_broadcast_target_id=0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since Greenpeace launched their global campaign last week, more than 200,000 people around the world have written to Lego asking they end the deal that&#8217;s making a lot of people very, very uncomfortable.
