The invention of plastic has been a double-edged sword for humanity. While the cheap, versatile material has made life convenient, it is virtually indestructible and takes centuries to decompose. Since avoiding plastic is impossible, companies worldwide are coming up with innovative ways to repurpose the millions of tons of polymer waste that end up in our landfills annually. Among the latest is California-based TechniSoil Industrial, which has devised an ingenious way to reuse plastic waste to repave roads.

              This is a bad idea. Saving the turtles is important, but plastic is highly flammable, and this could hurt us humans. It would be fun though, because we would be saving marine life, and other animals.

                    This is a really good solution to solve the plastic that is wasted! Every year, a lot of plastic is wasted and ends up in landfills or in the ocean. The ones that end up in the ocean can harm a lot of animals! These pieces of trash only end up there because of littering and old landfills that were built near the water. If less plastic waste ends up in the landfills, then less trash will end up in the ocean. Since there will be less trash in the ocean, not as many animals would get hurt. This could help increase the population of ocean animals! It is also better for many other living beings or animals that eat fish or aquatic animals. #Savetheplanet #ReduceReuseRecycle
