Austin City Council listen up: Plastic bags not so bad
A teenager in Canada has discovered a method to degrade plastic bags in three months using a bacterial cocktail. This discovery would be a great opportunity showcase a new “green” technology and reduce the volume of plastics going to landfill. We all know that Austin loves pub from being green. The technology appears to be fairly simple and inexpensive to implement - the kid did the experiments in his garage. There might be a fairly good payback on the investment.
Although the technology is probably years from reality, it would allow the fine residents of Austin to keep their choice for paper or plastic, and it would keep Austinites (and their sales tax revenue) shopping in Austin rather than shopping in the burbs for the choice, no offense to burbs intended.
