I think pounds of beef is a great way to measure impact.
I don't see any real easy numbers, but it seems a pound of beef is probably in the ballpark of 20 pounds of CO₂, so 1 million tons translates into 50,000 tons of beef, or a few days of US consumption (which is above 1 pound/week per person).
So giving up Legos entirely is like getting everyone in the US to eat chicken 5 times a year.
