A World Without Plastic?
By Jayson Schmidt on March 14, 2012
From the pages of… “oh-my-gosh-this-is-so-cool.”
From Mashable via PSFK, there is apparently a Plastic-Eating Fungi Found in the Amazon May Solve World’s Waste Problem.
Apparently, Yale University students and professors have found the fungi in the Amazon rainforest. What’s more, the organism can survive on just polyurethane, meaning it does not need oxygen to sustain itself.
Besides the fact that this is just really cool, it opens up a whole new window of opportunity for research and ability to become more self-sustaining. I can’t wait to see what comes of this.
[box_help]Thanks for reading. Is the sky the limit for this kind of research and development? What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments below.[/box_help]
