Wow! Well, it has been conjectured for some time that "the Tin Isles" were Cornwall and the Sillies. But actually to find a sample of Tyrian purple is amazing.
Plastic Waste May Finally Have a Solution [Click] I read about this a couple of years ago, I think from another company that had already built a small pilot plant. The trick is to treat the (unsorted and uncleaned) plastic with *supercritical* water. I foresee the day when humankind mines its dumps (oops--dating myself; "waste disposal sites"). I remember the old city dump where I grew up; people (including us) dumped their trash over the edge, where the flammable stuff constantly smoldered (we burned everything we could in a pit, and buried abalone guts etc. in the back garden for fertilizer). Once or twice a year scavengers would come up from the San Francisco Bay Area to gather the iron from the city dump. Now it is a tourist site called "Glass Beach." It seems very few people remember, but there is an older "Glass Beach" along the cliffs (a mile? half a mile?) farther south, where garbage was dumped generations ago. ——Alan
