    Yeah I saw a post the other day about Chinese scientists developing biodegradable bamboo-based plastic alternative. Widespread adaption of it of course will be challenging because of entrenched power of fossil fuel companies, but also small business tyrants whining about cost-per-unit. But if they're able to make it more affordable than petroleum based plastics then that would be a huge win.
