PLASTIC PLANET
1
Scientists are now beginning to call our age. The Anthropocene Age, meaning the age of human activity. What this means is that in future ages, our presence here on the planet will be visible in the actual rock and sediments which make up the Earth’s crust. Long after any visible presence of our time on earth has vanished, long after our great monuments and structures have collapsed, long after our cities have been reclaimed by the eternal jungle, evidence of human activity will still be present in the thin layer of plastic covering every surface of the planet. Microscopic particles of plastic have now spread to every part of Earth; borne to the highest mountains by winds and deposited there by rains and snows, carried to the lowest depths of the ocean by currents and marine life, the evidence of our presence on Earth will always be visible to anyone who comes after us – if anyone comes after us.
Although the problem is increasingly severe, scientists have only just begun to look for ways to deal with plastic waste. The problem is twofold, first, how to collect the vast amount of plastic rubbish which exists in the world, especially in the oceans, and second, what to do with the plastic once it has been collected.
2
It’s impossible to say for sure, but it is estimated that approximately 8 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean every year. This is more than anyone can deal with, even with the biggest beach clean in history. A ____________. This plastic circulates in ocean currents called gyres, killing marine life and polluting the water. B ____________. This problem seemed insoluble until a Dutch teen came up with the idea of setting up huge beams on the ocean floor to collect the waste. C ____________. The beams are placed at one end of the gyre, and the waste is gently drifted into nets by the current, where it can be collected easily and then transported to processing plants.
3
But once the waste has been collected and brought to a central processing plant, what can be done with it? The problem with plastic is that although it is very flexible and can be very easily melted down and reformed to make new
plastic products, it is actually very difficult and almost impossible to break plastic down into organic matter which does no damage to the environment. Biodegradable plastic is one way of dealing with this problem, but that just causes another environmental problem in that biodegradable plastic is more expensive in terms of energy consumption and resources to produce than petrochemical plastic.
4
Here another Dutch initiative has set their sights on solving this problem. A ____________. In 2011 a type of mushroom that appears to be able to grow on plastic was discovered in the Amazon. B ____________. Researchers at the University of Utrecht after a process of trial and error have developed a technology that grows the mushroom on plastic. The plastic is first soaked in a substance made of seaweed, and then the mushrooms are planted on it. As they grow, they actually digest the plastic completely until it has been transformed into organic matter. The mushrooms can then be cooked and eaten. C ____________. Still in its early stages and not yet ready for mass production, it’s hoped that in the future this technology can be used to deal
with huge amounts of plastic, and at the same time help to provide a solution to the problem of food shortages.
