OTHER ACTIVITYLondon, UK Sydney, AustraliaSlough, UK
Kids are protesting by building three massive LEGO Arctic animals outside Shell’s HQ in London. With their parents and guardians, they’re calling on LEGO to stop promoting Shell’s logo on their LEGO toys because kids love the Arctic and don’t want Shell to destroy it.The children will construct a polar bear, walrus and snowy owl reaching up to seven feet high. The giant bricks are made from reinforced cardboard and will be donated to a local school after LEGO ends its deal with Shell.
Greenpeace LEGO figures arrive at the LEGO HQ after traveling from Paddington Station in London to try to deliver a petition. The 115,000 signatures petition, collected in just three weeks, asks the toy company to cut ties with Shell and help 'Save the Arctic” from destructive oil exploration.
Greenpeace activists in LEGO figure costumes take to the streets of Sydney to demand an end to the partnership between LEGO and Shell. The figures are shown preparing their materials, on their way to the protest, at a Shell service station, returning to work and then calling friends to tell them about the next event.
