All great things are made of small things... Today, one of our students achieved proof of principle on turning #singleuseplastic bottles into filament for #3dprinting! Then a #benchy was printed..
From here we scale up production and start making #openhardware out of plastic bottles!!

I love this article about those tiny plastic pizza tables that keep the box lid off a freshly-made delivery/take-out pizza.

"If all single-use plastics are banned, Kalaydjian said he'll come up with some other solution, or figures someone else will."

I can't even buy a lettuce which isn't wrapped in single use plastic at my local supermarket.
