Two examples of sustainable design

Mater-Bi is a 100% recyclable material “100% Compostable Plastic” http://www.polymailplastics.com/materbidetails.htm
http://www.biobags.co.uk/technical/mater_bi.htm There are a lot of products which are actually made of the material, like Bio bags. Basically your bin bags will be able to degrade within about 50 days!A graph showing how long it’ll take for the degrading to take effect!Since on the bag issues, I guess another bag which is good, will be an eco bag.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPDTwlhJkcwThis just shows how the regular plastic bags you get these days, which have actually been banned in a few places, are so dangerous. When John Peterson in 1979, came up with the idea of it I don’t think he thought that “An estimated one million seabirds are killed each year by plastic, plus 100,000 seals, sea lions, whales and dolphins.”http://www.btmbeijing.com/contents/en/btm/2008-02/cultureshock/cultureconnectionanother item which I like is: The Sustainable Bike: Bamboo as the New Metalhttp://www.ethicalshopping.com/health-beauty/sports-outdoor/sustainable-bike-bamboo-new-metal.htmlInstead of the old metal, using up the metal materials, i feel the bamboo is a fantastic idea!I feel that using the bamboo; will help cut down the amount of metal we use in bikes.Not only is bamboo lighter than steel, it’s actually more comfortable to ride than carbon fiber frames.http://www.bikebamboo.com/bamboo_bicycles.php
