2 . Mattel is launching a new line of Barbies made from plastic that would otherwise become ocean waste. The "Barbie Loves the Ocean” collection, which has a summer theme, comes with three dolls （each $ 10） and a beach cabin play set （ $ 20）,. As part of Barbie's vlog （视频博客） series on YouTube, Mattel will pair the dolls' release with a new video called "Barbie Shares How We can All Protect the Planet.
The new Barbie line is Mattel's latest move in reaching its sustainability （可持续性）goals. The 76 - year - old toy company previously pledged to using 100% recycled, recyclable or bio - based plastic materials across all of its products and packaging by 2030. 4<To truly show the next generation they can be anything, we must-do our part in protecting the planet, reducing our environmental impact, and promoting sustainable everyday behaviors," Lisa McKnight, vice president at Mattel, told CNN Business.
Earlier, the toy company announced that it was launching a program called "Mattel Play- back", which encourages consumers to send Mattel their old toys, and the company can reuse the materials for future Mattel products. The program kicked off with Barbie and two other Mattel brands - Matchbox and MEGA toys - and brands will be added to the program going forward.
Mattel isn't alone in its eco -efforts, as many large toy companies are trying to become more eco - friendly after decades of relying on environmentally destructive plastic in their products and packaging. Finding alternatives to plastic is crucial to deal with climate change , and adopting “eco - friendly" marketing and products is important for companies as consumers are increasingly conscious about how their choices affect the planet.

4 . At the Green Free School in Copenhagen, students learn how to read and write and they study math and science. But the curriculum centers on sustainability.
The goal of the school is to prepare the students—about 200 of them, ranging in age from 6 to 15—for the green “transition.” That’s the transformation toward a sustainable society.
As a filmmaker, Ambo says she has always learned how to be around the world in a respectful way. Yet, she never saw that respect taught to children in Danish schools.
“So we founded a school where sustainable learning was the focus,” she says.
The school’s syllabus is modeled on systems thinking and project learning. System thinking is a way of learning that looks at how the pieces of a puzzle are related, instead of just looking at one small part. For example, how is a tree interconnected with other living things and what happens if part of the connection breaks along the way? Students also focus on project learning and hands-on thinking. They grow vegetables in the garden or look for wild mushrooms, draw pictures of them, then learn how to cook them and eat them. They do experiments on fibers and clothing, learning how much heat it takes to melt a piece of thread.
“They learn at an early age how to make their own data and be critical and curious about what kind of data they are presented with,” Ambo says.
They take classes to identify greenwashing as well, which is learning how to see through misleading claims about whether a company or a product or a material is truly sustainable or environmentally sound.
Although traditional education is still important at the school, students don’t have tests or exams, which make it different from other kinds of schools. Those parents who choose the school just because of its smaller size sometimes don’t stay very long, Ambo says.
