green growth

Today I came across the news that scientist have used bacteria to produce plastic in the lab. A similar test was run in 2004 using bacteria to convert toxins into usable plastic. This is a fascinating example of Green technology in action.


This sort of high-tech application of ecological principles shows how going Green is potentially the biggest growth industry for the future. The room for advancement, and thus return on investment, is enormous. Even perennial Globalist, Thomas Friedman, is now championing Green technology as "the kind of thing that can drive our technological foundation to a whole new level." It's this kind of innovation that will help rebuild our economy and create solutions to the problems facing us today.
