We all love ripping open packs of Pokémon cards and furiously shuffling through the cards to see what mysterious creatures await us.  Unfortunately, due to The Pokémon Companies' irresponsible advertising and distribution scheme, Pokémon collectors produce unusually large amounts of pollution.

The unnecessary amount of non-recyclable packaging used for a very small amount of cards creates waste that washes into our environment forever.

Their inefficient distribution processes increase the amount of harmful greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and further floods the waste stream with more packaging.

Non-existent recycling programs aid in the spread of harmful toxins and even more waste; the negative effects to the world are extensive and unsustainable. 

THIS CAN CHANGE, and the change starts here!  Join Oceans Blue Corp in a request to The Pokémon Company and Nintendo to improve their distribution and delivery services, reduce the size and amount of packaging used, develop an exchange/recycling program for old cards, and use packaging that can be recycled by standard recycling facilities.

If you would like to take it one step further, On Feb 1st, 2022 take a photo of your recent pulls with all of the packaging you had to have to get them.  Use hash tag #EliteTrainerTrash and tag The Pokémon Company and Nintendo.
