What to do with all those old plastic toys your kids don't want anymore?

One company has found a use for old plastic toys. Ecobirdy is turning old toys into sustainable kids' furniture. Sure it's still plastic, but it's getting a second life as sturdy and chic furniture, which might be less likely to end up in a landfill or in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

According to Ecobirdy, 80 percent of plastic toys end up in landfills, waste incinerators, and oceans. 90 percent of toys are made from plastic and have only a 6 month lifespan. By 2050, oceans are expected to contain more plastic than fish by weight, and the entire plastics industry will consume 20% of total oil production and 15% of the annual carbon budget.
