Going Forward To The Beginning…

A young girl asks herself “Who am I? What am I?”

She is too young to answer. There is nobody to guide her. The question remains unanswered and fades away with the time. The question fades away but a feeling of something missing stays. Time passes, she does not ask the question anymore, but still there is uneasiness inside her. She cannot put her finger on it. Her mind is strong, her will power is even stronger. She decides that it is not logical to have this strange feeling of something she cannot identify. So, she directs her mind to suppress this feeling. Time passes. Logical thinking comes easily to her, it becomes her. Years pass. Life happens. There is a lot of happiness, but also tragedies. She feels overwhelmed by this constant fight between logic and emotion, this feeling of fire inside her. She turns to Tai Chi. And then, seemingly out of nowhere (to her), her Tai Chi Master pulls her aside and tells her “I am going to help you”.  And so begins her journey to answering this long forgotten question “Who am I? What am I?”

Biocatalyst to decompose general-purpose plastic

Check it out on Science!

“Korea develops biocatalyst that decomposes 90% of waste PET in 8 hours. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a representative general-purpose plastic, is a material used in various applications, including PET bottles, clothing, seat belts, takeaway cups, and vehicle mats.”

This is a huge breakthrough!

Here’s why this is important:
1. Fast Decomposition: Normally, PET takes years to break down in nature, but this biocatalyst can do it in just 8 hours. That’s much faster than current recycling methods.

2. Environmental Impact: PET pollution is a major problem because it doesn’t decompose easily. This new technology could help reduce plastic waste and its harmful effects on the environment.

3. Efficient Recycling: If this method works on a large scale, it could make recycling PET plastics much easier and faster, reducing the need to produce new plastic.

4. Eco-Friendly: Using a biocatalyst (a natural substance) to break down PET is a more environmentally friendly option compared to chemical or mechanical methods, which often require more energy and resources.

5. Big Potential: If this works well for PET, it might be used for other types of plastic too, offering a broader solution to plastic waste.

In short, this development could play a big role in solving the plastic pollution problem, though it will be important to see how it works on a larger scale.
