1. Thanks, ashling. I'm going to

send this to my kids and grandkids.

Darn, I'll probably lie awake half the night trying to think of things I could make with it.

2. I hope fast food joints adopt the bioplastic tableware, cups, plates etc.

That would be a huge ecological boon.

Next -- let's see if that bioplastic can be fermented to form butanol.

3. Wow, I love stuff like this, thanks.

4. On the show Veep on HBO, there was a reference to corn starch plastic spoons

that melted when you stirred hot coffee with them.

I wonder how well these would hold up in the real world?

5. I don't know about that reference on the HBO sitcom

but I certainly think that this should stir (pardon the pun ... or not) some further interest and development possibilities. I was interested in the possibilities of packaging and grocery bags, etc. Better than having that stuff eaten by sea turtles, et al.
