The signs are all around. Governments from coastal America to Communist China and businesses from automakers to toymakers have promised that they will produce no net carbon emissions by some date conveniently far in the future. But as years have gone on, those dates have come to seem inconveniently near. Something has to give.
Political scientist Francis Fukuyama has described the process of improving societies — making them more politically democratic, economically advanced and culturally tolerant — as “getting to Denmark.” And in fact, Denmark, though far from perfect, has done a better job of getting there than just about any other country.
Which makes it interesting that Denmark’s most widely known business, Lego, has thrown in the figurative towel in its effort to manufacture net-zero bricks. It turns out, as the Wall Street Journal’s Dominic Chopping reports, bricks made of corn were “too soft,” bricks made of wheat “didn’t look right” and bricks made of other materials “proved too hard to pull apart or lost their grip.”
Plus, sad to say, bricks made of recycled bottles would emit more carbon than its current processes. Lacking the power of a government to require consumers, at least outside tiny Denmark, to buy a palpably inferior product, Lego will go on emitting just as much carbon per brick as before.

Losing the recipe for plastic will be like losing the recipe for how to make ice. What are those large recycling locations going to do when there is no plastic to recycle, or not recycle and just have sitting in lumps behind walls so nobody sees how much recycling material does not actually get recycled?
The problem with net zero is it’s a political agenda
Net Zero is Goldilocks.
How will the climate alarmists handle this story??

net zero is a catchy slogan
net zero is mass murder
Net Zero is evil. We are approaching the critical CO2 level where life starts to collapse.

Making Legos out of corn or wheat makes perfect sense. That way they are safe if your child eats one.

You bite down on then before they soak in milk long enough and it can hurt!
