Using a bacteria to re-use styrofoam - Really Cool!
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11714663/


<snip>There's an old joke that if you were reincarnated, you might want to come back as a Styrofoam cup.

Why? Because they last forever. Ba-dum-bum.

Despite being made 95 percent of air, Styrofoam plastic's manufactured immortality has posed a problem for recycling efforts. More than 3 million tons of the durable material is produced every year in the United States, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Very little of it is recycled.</snip>


The article should have been longer than what it is. This is really cool!
