the last paragraph is the most depressing part, just as weve found a sustainable ecological solution to problem of plastic, we learn that someone has commoditized it into a chemical solution, which no doubt has the accompanying legal patent absurdities,few if any positive environmental interactions and actually endangers a very special species due to corporate anti competative behaviour.
Irony anyone?
- chc 15y agoWhat on earth are you talking about? How does isolating the enzyme hurt the environment (more than the creature itself would) or endanger the species?
- drstrangevibes 15y agothe environment is a holistic function of living symbiotic relationships. Isolating an enzyme and spraying it on a field is about as environmentally friendly as covering a field in pus and saying its ok because it comes from nature.
- eropple 15y agoAs opposed to covering a field with fecal matter?
- drstrangevibes 15y agoyes because shit happens to be something that would occur naturally in that environment, whereas isolating some of the things that are in shit and spraying it on a field (chemical fertilizers) actually do harm in the long run.
