Breaking Down Plastic - Teen's Green Discovery
Teen's Green Discovery

16-year-old Waterloo, Ontario high school junior Daniel Burd wanted to speed up the decomposition of plastic, a process that was estimated to take thousands of years, if not more. Guess what? He succeeded. The secret? He combined landfill dirt, yeast, tap water, and ground plastic and let it sit. It only took three months to break down! Good job, Mr. Burd. A+.
