Geri I have already started a post on a young girl here in Sydney who has made an all-natural plastic. The trouble with all of this is the big boys don't want to hear.
All the time I was a teacher we taught children to reduce, re-use, re-cycle and all the while the plastics industries were ramping up production.
We try so hard to reduce our carbon footprints, but I do wonder if those at the top, with power and money, care a toss. I suspect not. In which case they have no respect for humanity. Sigh...
