Burning Plastic

Scientist found that there is a better way to get rid of plastic rather than just filling up land fills with it. Scientist Yiannis Levendis created a way to change combustion so that plastic would just turn in to soot. Even though the plastic cup gave of a lot of smoke the cup was turned into ashes. It could also burn as fuel as cleanly as natural gas. I think it is great that there is a new possible fuel source since we have so much plastic already and we use it every day it could be very useful to us in the future.
