Scientific discovery reducing plastics & save the planet
 

A new discovery has been made when a Spanish beekeeper found these worms in a hive, placing them on plastic & noticed they eat through the bag.

Now scientists have discovered the wax worms eat plastic & leave antifreeze!

Here´s another story about the discovery of the plastic munching wax moth caterpillar...

This reminds me of what George Carlin, a respectful comedian, said in one of his shows about the environment: the planet is fine! Plastic came out of earth and it will find its way back to earth. So it did!

it´s amazing stuff, not sure I understand the anti freeze stuff, but very cool to know the planet dealt with some of our problems :thumbsup

The day will come when these things are obligation and not luxury or necessity

Yes! That's the right! The one and only George Carlin foresaw the future!

there is a logic there..

I think the stock of that organism just went up. Meanwhile plastic companies are hell bent on polluting the planet more knowing something will clean it up for them at least free (sarcasm)

That insect/bug should be protected but I hope rich countries knowing how money blinds everyone won't make it so called exclusive and keep the stock and rights to breed only for them. I could smell greed from miles away ...
