Indiana Drawdown Solution #47 – Bioplastic – FiliSoy

Throughout history, nobody believed they could run a 4 minute mile. Then one day… Roger Bannister did it. Within two years so did 37 others. Once these people knew it was possible they could break an “impossible” barrier. This is the power of success stories.

The world produces 310 million tons of plastic each year, and most of that is made from fossil fuels. 90% of that could be made from plants instead.
