Scientists Have Discovered A Mushroom That Eats Plastic, And It Could Clean Our Landfills
It looks like George Carlin is right again, even more than ten years after his death. In his famous “Saving the Planet” standup comedy act, he takes the piss out…

This is actually pretty exciting. They’ve found a way to turn plastic into food.
