Let me just say first that Gus continues to adore his Ranger Rick magazines and it is always a huge treat when one shows up in the mail. They are fun, funny (lots of jokes and riddles) and do a great job educating about the environment in an age-appropriate way.
Why did they mail my son a plastic (some kind of poly-nylon) backpack in a plastic envelope then?! No idea--they did it to be nice, but we weren't expecting it and would subscribe regardless (did, in fact). So, I wish they hadn't. He'll probably use the backpack for something, but it won't last forever and the envelope is not really reusable either. Oh well--I think it just goes to prove once again that plastic is so ubiquitous it is almost invisible, unless you really make an effort to open your eyes to it.
