My name's Marc, AND I ADORE HER. next year I'm gonna be a Drum Major for the MOB. The year after I'm joining the Cavaliers. A few years later I'll play for the Dallas Wind Symphony. I like to think I've got things figured out, so if you want to know what I think, here you go; Life's actually pretty simple. Nothing we do really matters in the grand scheme of things. We're young, so why sit here and be upset over things we can't control? No one's going to change their life for you so change your own if you aren't happy. There's a quote I kinda like to live by; "If you always do what you've always done, you will always get what you've always got." Changes things up a bit. Nothing will change until you leave your comfort zone.

Fun guy chillin’ in South American rainforest finds plastic-eating fungi
Seriously, though this is kind of a big deal. Know that big problem we have? You know, the one involving a crapload of used plastic hanging around in landfills with nowhere to biodegrade for a couple million years? Well, Jonathan Russell might’ve solved that problem. See, Russell and his fellow Yale students went to Ecuador, where they found a new kind of fungus they’re calling Pestalotiopsis microspora. Big deal, you’re thinking. Anyone can find fungus anywhere! Well, something his fellow students found out after the fact is that this fungus can live on a diet of polyurethane alone — and even crazier, it doesn’t even need air to do so! In other words, we could potentially put it at the bottom of a landfill and cover it with plastic, and it would do the rest of the work. This might be game-changing if it works as advertised.

If this pans out, it will be HUGE. How crazy is it that there might be something like this in the world, just waiting for us to discover it so we can use it to help save us from ourselves?
