Some more promising news in the field of environmentalism: In a “very surprising” discovery, scientists have located several microbes in the Alps and the Arctic that can digest plastic at low temperatures — a potential game-changer in globally decreasing plastic waste. “These organisms could help to reduce the costs and environmental burden of an enzymatic recycling process for plastic.”
Let’s be thankful the Alps are not made of plastic. Now that would be an environmental disaster. Where would we ski if there was no Gstaad?
