Teen figures out how to decompose plastic bags in 3 months

[DaveTaylor]

Ontario high school junior Daniel Burd wanted to try to figure out if there was a way to get plastic bags to decompose faster. As it stands, it takes thousands of years for the wasteful objects to disintegrate. But by using bacteria, he figured out how to make it happen in a mere three months.

Wow
That's a great achievement, he should have earned more than he did though, a $20,000 scholarship is nothing..
Still, it doesn't stop global warming and how are they gonna put his findings into action?

They best put this into action ;\

Otherwise it's going to look terrible on our planet.
