Most people want to be eco-friendly but for the most part at least currently sometimes going green technlogoy is not financially a good idea currently.I have looked at eco-friendly and green technology alternatives like igo green charger and have adapted where it makes financial sense. So far I have also installed solar panels on my home but while looking for a electric car I find the cost doesnt justify it for me. While I am passionate about making green choices and opting for green technology whenever possible it is up to people like you and I to spread awareness and let the companies know there is a demand. Your website looks popular and I think you can help influence society with your insight and green technology tips. By the way I found your site by searching ” Searching for sustainable plastics | A Smarter Planet Blog ” and you were the first result. So I think your website is a perfect platform to discuss ideas that are thought provoking to help influence your readers to go green. – Good luck with your site, you deserve all the success! Please continue to talk about more eco-tips/green tech, every idea helps us get closer day by day!

Yes! We can build a smarter planet with smarter plastics. This is great news that researchers around the world are leaning on the idea of going green even with plastics. It is apparent however, that not only a named few from IBM Research and Stanford University should take part but all of us! Even in minute ways we should strive to save the environment.

Start in our homes. We should reuse and recycle best as we can.

Recycling Is a very important issue, it is the future, in my household we recycle everything from plastic bottles to tin cans. We make it a fun game rather than a chore so the children also enjoy recycling :)

Recycling will be the future, but surely an even better option is dramatically cutting down on our usage of bottles, expecially bottled water. Filtered water from taps will drastically reduce the amount of bottles we use, check out my article on this: reasons for water filtration

Interesting video but the real question is: Can this chemical breakdown be done on a large enough scale that any significant impact can be made on the worlds waste problems? Maybe the answer is that it can, but how long will it take and will the process be available other companies beyond IBM?

Regardless of the true answers, I commend IMB for taking such a proactive approach toward the massive trash and waste problems we’re facing.

I wonder if there is a practical material that could replace plastics? Perhaps it could be researched for a future impact before being produced in such quantity like plastics.
