If climate change was such a big deal...

Why haven't we made any improvements to stop lights in my 40 year lifetime? Surely technology is out there to help inner city traffic flow better than it currently does....

And why do we pay a plastic bag tax versus require manufacturing of biodegradable plastic?

Whats messed up is that there is an organism that they have found that eats plastic. Not sure why we're not looking harder into that...

Unless it does something to denature plastic, I’d be very weary.

Micro plastics are a huge problem, and if this organism just “eats” plastic by breaking it into smaller pieces, I think it would cause more problems than it solves.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottcarpenter/2021/03/10/the-race-to-develop-plastic-eating-bacteria/?sh=5d39ece27406 Still making headway, but seems like this would be an area for development....instead of the bullshit they spend money on (or steal)

Thanks for the article. It seems they have the same concerns I do.

Nor are the bacteria able to degrade the plastic all the way back into their core elemental building blocks, including carbon and hydrogen. Instead, they typically break up the polymers out of which plastics are composed back into monomers, which are often useful only to create more plastics.
