Burning Plastic

Let's burn plastic.

Plastics are necessary for agriculture, yet "used" plastics fill our dumps and pristine wilderness.  What should we do with the leftover plastics we use?  We can recycle some, but Penn State Extension is learning about how we can responsibly burn it.

Take a look at this slideshow:  Penn State Extension Plastic Fuel
By heating the furnace up to 1100 degrees centigrade, the compressed plastics burn clean.

As the project suggests though, a desire by communities to legalize this resource must come first before implementation.  Let me know if your community has made any progress on burning plastics!
