Can we live without plastic toys? Well, maybe not entirely. But we could do a lot better by minimizing the number of useless plastic toys that we buy, such as birthday party favors like these kazoos , hamburger yo-yos, or magnifying glasses. Look at this page for an entire listing of such toys that end up littering your house, straight in the land fill, or even worse - in the ocean where they eventually find their way to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. No, we aren't kidding - much of that plastic does find its way into the ocean and ends up killing birds and fish, and even worse, could end up as toxic chemicals that find their way into the food we eat.
So what's the alternative? Little Star offers eco-friendly goodie bags, including some for under $5. They also offer an entire "Eco-Party in a Box". Even if that doesn't fit your budget, the next time you throw a birthday party for your kid or get someone a gift, try buying earth-friendly toys or favors instead.
