    On other news, there are biodegradable plastics. We should probably use those more. Sure we’ll end up with biodegradable plastic in our bodies but basically it would be inert. PVA, PVOH and CMC for example are inert plastic-like chemicals that can coat stuff in foams. CMC for example makes the clear gel that you put on your hair as well as the gel-like behavior you get from various cosmetics. PVA/PVOH is part of non toxic glue. and what’s in those molecules? Just carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, nothing more than what’s already in our bodies.
