Again, those numbers are only symptoms of a problem not addressed by the microbes.

Plastics that are problematic are ones that escape the recycling bin. That microbe solution is woefully ill-defined by unanswered questions such as ... why is this method better than existing recycling methods,

$1.25 etc are estimated costs per bag of recovering that plastic bag. Microbes remain an innovative solution still seeking a problem to solve. Plastics that are a problematic are plastics that escape recycling - ie $1.25+ per plastic bag.

Contrary to what xoxoxoBruce posted, the relevant point was answered then and is answered here again.

Imagine, if you will, what kind of tools are found in that kid's basement that he can build a bacteria.

So, like you've trapped a cat in a box?

Dana, aren't you supposed to be studying? (Just like I'm supposed to be working.)

DanaC · 05-27-2008, 04:54 PM

Umm.....kinda....I broke off with the intention of getting to bed early and found myself back on here....

Bruce, nice pun in the title, by the way.

Quote:

First, he ground plastic bags into a powder. Next, he used ordinary household chemicals, yeast and tap water to create a solution that would encourage microbe growth. To that, he added the plastic powder and dirt. Then the solution sat in a shaker at 30 degrees.

Oh! I hadn't spotted that

If you were smart like tw you'd already know where he got the information.How many times does he have to share his wisdom with us?

I bet it's a misremembered statistic that actually refers to a large plastic bag full of plastic bags.
