Nature has learnt how to eat our plastic!

Nature always finds a way..so they say! But it looks like it may actually be true in the case of our global plastic waste dilemma. Genetic mutations have been discovered in specific natural bacteria that enable them to break the polymer chains of certain plastics. Where have we found these bacteria? Well...in plastic recycling dumps of course. So, gloves and masks on everyone. We're going in!

    THe first plastics were bakelite, phenol and formaldehyde, developed in 1907 (part;y, tragically, from wood. The next was Rayon - nitrocellulose, developed, again, from living trees. in 1832. In 1855 by Georges Audemars. Acette film for pictures 1910 (the older stuff wold brn too easil fom the heat of projectors and speed.) Polyamide - Nlon - Dupont labs in late 1920s, better than silk. But as yet, spider silk remains stronger than any manmade fiber, though those plastics have made products that can vary between stretchable and unbreakability enough to use fo to stop bullets. The world welcomes the bacteria that can eat it, and their genomes are carefully sequestered from public, probably to keep Coca Cola corporation alive, as I wold love to shed some of those bacteria at the numerous bottling plants that contribute to dewatering springs, water tables and desert valleys of many mountains I know. It's NO secret thta Americans eat plastic and garbage - just go to an of theri fast food joints. You, too can quickly attain the sexy shape of a soccer ball - 40% of America is Obese, and almost 70% strive to imitate the football shape ethic, calling it "curvy."

    In 1992, I bought a PET 1.5 liter bottle of mineral water in Rio de Janeiro, and kept it in my fridge because the spout had a handy disk like shape that made it ergonomical to lift up, and it was made from a sturdier plastic. Today, 31 years later, the same bottle is still in use, perhaps having been filled more than 10 thousand times with water from a filter. Amazing to think a product that was meant to be used once, being used 10 thousand times, and still going strong!

Can you do a segment on why bottles aren't simply refilled?

    This reminds me of the aircraft incident in Michael Crichton's Andromeda Strain (the book not the movie). A fighter plane crashes because the alien Andromeda bug mutates from eating flesh to eating plastics and quickly dissolved the pilot's plastic face mask. It is clear that plastics are no longer forever, though our terrestrial bugs will probably take longer to eat them up than the Andromeda bug.

    In my opinion, I think both of you say things that are true. For most people, psychedelics are not useful because they're not ready for them and won't use them for self-improvement and meditation. For most people, using good old fashioned brain power and reflection is how you develop your inner realm. I also agree with the fact that you have to set your own goals for how you want to be and put in the work and taking enough drugs will set you backwards, and that includes psychedelics. But I do think psychedelics can be insightful and helpful in rare cases to snap people out of bad situations, and there were studies about helping against alcohol addiction for example, but that's assuming they're also the kind of person to get any useful effects of psychedelics. And by kind of person I mean a very complex combination of personality and current mental state, I'm not talking about open minds or weird shamanistic rituals or anything else. They shouldn't be ignored by the scientific community as a novel treatment for rare cases of addiction, depression, etc. More research should be done about DMT, LSD and also Ketamine. I think they're not a magic solution to anything, but they can be the kick some people need to start changing their lives for the better. However it's important to point that it's just a kick, a spark to light the flame, and then you'd have to keep the flame going by yourself. It's not something you'd use to do the work and the thinking for you (because it won't).
