Are you aware of the fact that every piece of plastic that was ever made still exists on this planet? Yeah, let that sink in. It takes from 50 to 200 years for plastic wraps to fully break down. Go to any grocery store, and what will you see? Yup, that's right plastic everywhere. Plastic pollution is no joke, and people all over the world are trying to find ways to reduce it. And some of them are quite creative!
For example, the owners of a supermarket in Chiang-mai, Thailand, came up with an ingenious idea: instead of plastic, they use banana leaves for packaging fresh produce! A chemical engineer from Mexico, Scott Munguia, founded a company that transforms avocado pits into biodegradable utensils, and another chemical engineer Sharon Barak, invented fake plastic which has a reduced decay period!
