The Earth Plus Plastic

George Carlin may have been exactly right.  The Earth wanted plastic for itself, didn't know how to make it, needed us.

Bees using plastic to make better nests/hives.

 Excerpt from this short article.....

In both cases, larvae successfully developed from the plastic-lined nests. In fact, the bees emerged parasite-free, suggesting plastic nests may physically impede parasites, the study said.

The Carlin reference is found in this video.  If you want the short version start at the 5:00 time marker.

  4. I've heard that DDT story, given that no one really cares about anyone else, I'm in agreement it was purely based on profit for some company(s). Ditto Freon and who knows what else.
