Photo: Subway Please Don't Send Your Toys By Air

Subway, the franchised sandwich retailer with the slogan, "Subway, Eat Fresh, Live Green", has come to my attention. Really is there a need to air freight "toys" from Hong Kong (HKG) to the London Heathrow (LHR), via Paris (CDG)? Surely they would be more environmentally sound if they were sent via sea, or not manufactured at all. This isn't the only items that Subway send via air either.
