Sounds too good to be true.
Of course now though you’ll get idiots suggesting we can carry on churning out plastic by the ton ‘Because the seaweed will eat it’.
That’s actually the opposite of what the article is about! It’s about reducing plastic production by creating biodegradable packaging using seaweed.
So, nothing to do with seaweed eating plastic, though I get why you would assume that. Seems every other week there’s an article about a fungus or bacteria or magical plastic fairy that will make plastic disappear.
I hope the fact that this is a front-end solution to try and stop churning out plastic brightens your day. Wishing you a lovely weekend!
I know that - my comment is the sort of thing people will say.
My bad; I misunderstood your comment.
I was operating under the assumption that people would read the article and not think that at all, but you’re absolutely right: the type of people who would say we should just keep churning out plastic are probably not the ones taking the time to actually look at articles.
Exactly, meanwhile the rest of us suffer.
A bit like the post that shows all the private jets flying off after superbowl. Meanwhile we have to recycle our milk cartons.
