RE: LEGO has just announced that they will release their first set of bricks made from "green plastic" later this year!

The only concern I have now is when these industries start growing and start to use bioplastics, there should be enough resources available to be able to provide raw materials for them. Moving from a non-biodegradable to bio-degradable is very good. But at the same time, we should also be aware of the other factors like growing more sugarcanes to be able to feed such industries.

In the modernization, agriculture is also not surviving. In India, most of the agriculture lands have been converted to residential zones. Not just agriculture lands, there are even forest and hill regions being converted to residential and commercial zones. So it will be ideal to look for methods to improve agriculture and do afforestation as well.

Yeah, there are absolutely some problems with having more sugarcane farms! People are literarily logging down the rain forest to make room for these types of farms, so there's for sure a lot of problems.

Interesting! I don't think all parts of the world has this problem just yet, but it makes sense that densely population countries such as India will experience this.
