Nature always finds a way

They say that nature always finds a way– and she did again! Bacteria have been found to eat Styrofoam material and turn it into usable plastic.

As the article on MSNBC outlines, the plastic made from this process:

  • can be used to make plastic forks and packaging film,
  • is resistant to heat, grease and oil
  • lasts a long time
  • biodegrades in soil and water

This should begin to help take care of the 3 million tons of Styrofoam is produced every year in the U.S — what will mother nature think of next?

When will we learn that nature always has a solution, if we only are open to finding it!
