Plastics made from plants

Scientist have discovered how to make plastics out of plants and this can potentially be a way to save the environment. Scientist are able use the stalks and husk from corns to make plastics. Since plastics is make from oil and petrol, this new way will help to save huge amounts of fossil fuels and conserve the remaining reserves for our future generation.

Since the stalks and husks are more organic, the plastic will be more bio-degradable and easier to destroy. This will also reduce a lot of pollution as more of our daily things are made out of plastics. Another good thing about plant-made plastics is that plants are renewable and will never run out as they can reproduce. Thus, plants is another solution for our depleting resources. Also, this will encourage more people to go into conservation efforts when they learn about the benefits of plants.

As we progress further, we will find many other new ways to protect and save our earth and this is a good start. We may have taken many things for granted in the past and now we, humans, are fixing our mistakes. As technology advance, I am sure more discoveries that is beneficial to our planet will be made and hopefully it will be enough to save our home for the future generations.
