A Simple Solution for the PLASTIC VORTEX -- a floating mound of plastic waste in the Pacific Ocean the size of Texas

by !Baha, 5 January 2011

We've held off too long on this piece of news, about a solution for the enormous mound of waste floating in the Pacific Ocean called THE PLASTIC VORTEX ...

By now, many of you would have heard about this. There have been ships with scientists inspecting it, and there are folks using complex models and computers and advanced technological tools trying to figure out how to recycle the plastic in the vortex.

So, I decided to talk to a chemical engineer -- and his reply was, "Yeah, of course I've heard about the Plastic Vortex, and I've heard that they are planning to turn it into an island."

HOW SIMPLE and BRILLIANT!
Just ADD SOME HEAT and melt the plastic together and VIOLA! Get out the umbrella cocktails, and let's party ...

A good solution for the mountain of waste, and a way to ease another one of planet earth's LOOMING PROBLEMS, that of OVER-POPULATION. Have you noticed that it's often the SIMPLE SOLUTIONS that are the best! Simple because it just makes so much sense.
