MotherboardTV.com: Plastic, though the holy grail of modern convenience, causes a trifecta of problems. We're running out of places to dump our non-biodegradable plastic waste and it's clogging up our oceans. Burning plastic releases tons of CO2 into the atmosphere contributing to global warming. And to make the stuff, it soaks up 7% of our annual petroleum use, an in demand diminishing resource.
We'll see if this is legit. If so, it's a nice two-fer: get rid of plastic, get more oil. For this humanitarian service, Akinori Ito will, quite deservedly, get his reward.
