Eco-junk

Cellphone charm in the shape of a little pink frogHere it is, the infamous "Eco-Grenouille" (French for "Eco Frog").

I got this little fellow as a gift while doing some shopping at the Beauvais airport in Paris some months ago. He came in complete packaging of cardboard and plastic. On the carboard its name was written: "Eco-Grenouille".

Could someone tell me what is "eco" about producing and spreading little objects that will most probably end up in the trashcan or in someone's drawer? Not to mention the whole packaging around this marvelous piece...

Ironically I did not trash my little frog. Instead I been carrying it around as living proof of the "eco-madness".
