Let's not pretend they care about the reduction in carbon. They'd only care about reduced shipping costs.

Their product is literally made out of oil.

Apparently they've started phasing in pieces made of bio-polyethylene made from sugarcane. But I haven't found anything about what proportion of their bricks that makes up, and presumably they'd be publicising it heavily for PR purposes if it was a large proportion so I'm guessing it's not a very large amount yet.

Is making bricks out of oil as bad as burning it?
