From GRIST magazine (thanks, Anne):
WELL HELLO, DOLLY
Mattell announced over the weekend that it would be marketing a new
Eco-Barbie in time for next Christmas. Made entirely from recycled
plastic, the new Barbie will include accessories like a patchouli
neck bag, a Central-American-style jacket made from organic hemp, a
bullhorn, and climbing gear for direct action make-believe. The
Eco-Barbie also will be able to recite such popular environmental
slogans as "reduce, reuse, recycle" and "every day is Earth Day."
Mattell is undecided about whether Eco-Barbie's dream car will be a
super-efficient, gas-electric hybrid or a rusting VW van. A Ken doll
sporting long hair, a beard, and a fleece jacket is also in the works.
