Convert platic into oil.
This is a video of a Japanese invention to convert plastic garbage into oil. Does anyone have a way to measure the carbon footprint? What's the energy return on investment? Would it result in greater consciousness and reduction of plastic, or complacency about consuming more plastic? Interesting all the same. Next we'll probably be mining landfill sites for plastic.http://www.flixxy.com/convert-plastic-to-oil.htmSee More

Was able to spend a beautiful 3 days with Dave and Bonnie Collacutt at their place on Lake Simcoe this summer. I picked up one of your pieces of pottery to comment on and Bonnie showed me 3 pieces - they're beautiful! Hope to see you soon.
