Everyone knows that LEGO is all about building things, but it turns out their magic also extends brick by brick to positive systemic change. Recently, the 86 year-old multinational company met its goals of having all its production facilities powered entirely by renewable energy, three years ahead of schedule.
The company was originally expected to reach the transition in 2022 but was able to achieve it sooner thanks to the completion of a 258MW offshore wind farm in the Irish Sea. And as if that isn’t cool enough, the giant turbine is entirely made out of 146,000 authentic LEGO pieces. What’s more, it seems wind turbines have been on the brand’s mind lately as they have recently released a fully-functional LEGO wind turbine playset for anyone who wants to build clean energy infrastructure on a tiny scale.
