Teen finds a way to decompose plastic in 3 months

This should help the landfills around the world.

The funny thing is that a teenager was the first to come up with this when scientists have been working on the problem for decades. I guarantee this kid will have no problem getting into a good college.

If this is true. Isn't science just brilliant. A 16 year old Kid can do some experiments and potentially solve one of the worlds greatest dilemas.

Impressive.

What is most important is you have a living bacteria which is capable of digesting a material that has only existed for a short while. Similar to the nylon eating organisms, the ability to metabolize this material can come from only one process: evolution.

Science. It works.

Lol yeah that has to be a real big slap in the face...

Not really. The "kid in a garage" has always given a hand to progress in America.

Its what many companies fear... even Bill Gates said his empire would be toppled by a kid in his garage.
