I love this story - “teenager has found a way to make plastic bags degrade faster“, what a great idea out of a great young mind.
Getting ordinary plastic bags to rot away like banana peels would be an environmental dream come true.
After all, we produce 500 billion a year worldwide and they take up to 1,000 years to decompose. They take up space in landfills, litter our streets and parks, pollute the oceans and kill the animals that eat them.
Now a Waterloo teenager has found a way to make plastic bags degrade faster — in three months, he figures.
So, if a teen can figure out how to make a bag degrade faster…what can scientist do to speed-up nuclear waste’s half-life. Now if we can speed that up, then nuclear energy seems better. It is so much cleaner and more powerful of this stuff we do today.
Now where did I put the flux-capacitor?
