Around 26% of toys bought at Christmas are neglected by the end of January, and 40% will be thrown out within the first 3 months of being unwrapped. Combined weight of electronic toys comes to 3.2b kg (environmentjournal.online)

Thrown out? Or donated? Are people really so lazy that they wouldn’t donate unused toys to a charity, church, or shelter?

Honestlyone of the best things you can do, other than not creating waste in the first place, is posting in your local buy nothing group.
