Rethink Ireland’s Post

Christmas is around the corner, and many people are thinking about gifts for their loved ones. Did you know that 9 of 10 toys are made of #plastic?🪁 ⚠️"80% of all toys globally end up in landfills, incinerators or the ocean and are not recycled, while an estimated 5.5 million plastic toys are discarded in #Ireland each year. " - RTÉ News As a part of Rethink Ireland's vision of a more just, equal and #sustainable Ireland we are supporting five innovative non-profit projects in #Cork through our SEFIT Fund, focused on addressing the challenges of green and digital transitions 🌱 One of the awardees is The Toy Library. We spoke with their founder Giorgia Anile, to get her best tips for a more sustainable holiday season 🎄 Swipe to learn more 👉 Giorgia Anile, founder of The Toy Library: "The Toy Library’s #Circular #Christmas campaign is about changing the way we engage with toys over the Christmas period, which can be a time of overconsumption - as parents and families are exposed to pressure from the media to fabricate the perfect Christmas. Every parent can relate to this: kids get obsessed with a particular toy, only to completely lose interest after a few days. We can do better than that, and The Toy Library is here to help solve this problem, supported by Rethink Ireland on a shared mission to create more sustainable futures."
