Greenpeace activists dressed as Ken dolls rappelled down the side of Mattel's headquarters on Tuesday to unfurl a banner saying Barbie packaging contributes to rainforest destruction.
The massive pink-and-blue sign on the Mattel building in El Segundo, outside Los Angeles, featured a frowning Ken declaring: "Barbie, it's over. I don't date girls that are into deforestation."

"Unwrap the glossy pink box and you'll find Barbie's dirty secret. Her packaging is made from the rainforests of Indonesia which are being ripped down for quick profits," Greenpeace activist Rolf Skar said in an emailed statement.
"The Sumatran tiger is on the brink of extinction because companies like Mattel are looking the other way and buying paper without asking where it's coming from," Skar said.
I'm sorry the Sumatran tiger is close to extinction (and chances are there's more than one reason for that) but this is Greenpeace so it sorta makes me want to go buy a Barbie for my daughter.

I hope their massive sign was not made out of paper, or even worse, plastic derived from petroleum.
