Bioplastics a product for the future.

Yesterday, I came across a line of products that are absolutely fascinating! I had never heard of this stuff before. While I don't fully agree with the purpose or their business model they have chosen for their product and activism, I do completely support what they have created. They are significant strides froward in our quest to free ourselves from the oil cartel.

There is more information about bioplastics at Wikipedia. Ultimately I believe there is much that we can do with this technology.

Yes I know it will surprise some folks to hear a pro-oil Alaskan like myself endorse biomass products but you really shouldn't be surprised. I am the father of four kids and I am a former Boy Scout who lived the motto and left no trace on my outdoor adventures. While I know that we can safely develop the oil that we have in places like ANWR, from years of watching the oil patch on the North Slope of Alaska, that doesn't mean I am unaware of the need we all have fore developing cleaner systems where we can.

I have the same expectations for my children in that respect. I encourage them to pick up after themselves and in fact I have on complaining at this very minute because he cannot go and play until he picks up the mess he has made in the living room. That said you should see why I see great potential in this technology. Biomass is a renewable source of raw material. Though I honestly don't believe we should be burning corn or other food stocks for fuel, due to the damage it does to the average family's food budget. I do fully support the concept and the advances that are beginning to appear.
