Ted talk tittle: breaking down plastics with bacteria

Ted talk author: Miranda Wang and Jeanny Yao

Ted talk time: 9:20



Two young scientists were worried about the incredible increasing of plastics which can affect the whole organisms, including the atmosphere. Their idea began with an accident as the penicillin accident. So they found out accidents can lead to discoveries, they aren't always considered to be harmful, unfortunate and dangerous. Plastics are double edged sword as they are usable, durable and flexible as they are one of the main reasons behind the destruction of Eco system and the pollution. They decided to demolish the waste of plastics by a new method to get rid of the over amount of plastics because recycle is not enough, in addition they take long time to decay. So the experiment started with 3 samples of bacteria from a river but there were few mistakes. In the end the two scientists reached to wonderful results that can be evolve at the hands of the more experienced scientists.
