Biodegradable Plastic Bag Disappears in Four Months, Along With Your Earth-Killing Guilt
The reason plastic is awesome is that it's super durable, so it lasts forever. The problem is that it lasts forever, even when we want it to just go away and take its place in the circle life. Biodegradable plastics aren't new, but in the past they've been pretty weak and expensive, so not optimal replacements for your grocery sack. Eco-geeks at the Missouri University of Science and Technology have come up with the anti-daywalker of plastic: All of its strengths, but it disintegrates in four months.
But what I really wanna know is why Univ. of MO - Rolla (apparently now known as Missouri University of Science and Technology) decided it was a good idea to change their name after the Mizzou (Univ. of MO - Columbia) name change uproar?? I mean, I know Rolla is nothing but engineering for the most part, but still.
I know - completely unrelated, but that's wack. Univ. of MO - St. Louis grad here, hence my bewilderment.
