New bio plastics made from bamboo are strong enough for heavy use, will biodegrade in 50 days (!!) #solarpunk
https://phys.org/news/2025-10-bamboo-based-plastic-biodegrade-quickly.html
A new method to produce strong, biodegradable plastic from bamboo is reported in Nature Communications this week. The bioplastic resembles oil-based plastics in strength, shapability, and thermal stability but can biodegrade in soil within 50 days, presenting a new pathway toward sustainable plastic alternatives.
@atrusriven I appreciate your respectful reply!
Solarpunk ideas aside, what you described is actually the point of the Book of Mormon :) It’s another witness of Jesus Christ that was recorded in the ancient Americas. It clarifies and confirms the record of Jesus and his teachings in the Bible.
#Solarpunk scripture, anyone? :)
11 It is wisdom in me; therefore, a commandment I give unto you, that ye shall organize yourselves and appoint every man his stewardship;
12 That every man may give an account unto me of the stewardship which is appointed unto him.
13 For it is expedient that I, the Lord, should make every man accountable, as a steward over earthly blessings, which I have made and prepared for my creatures.
14 I, the Lord, stretched out the heavens, and built the earth, my very handiwork; and all things therein are mine.
15 And it is my purpose to provide for my saints, for all things are mine.
16 But it must needs be done in mine own way; and behold this is the way that I, the Lord, have decreed to provide for my saints, that the poor shall be exalted, in that the rich are made low.
17 For the earth is full, and there is enough and to spare; yea, I prepared all things, and have given unto the children of men to be agents unto themselves.
18 Therefore, if any man shall take of the abundance which I have made, and impart not his portion, according to the law of my gospel, unto the poor and the needy, he shall, with the wicked, lift up his eyes in hell, being in torment.
- Jesus Christ
Doctrine & Covenants 104:11-18 (https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/104?lang=eng&id=p11-p18#p11)
Revelation given to Joseph Smith the Prophet, at or near Kirtland, Ohio, April 23, 1834, concerning the United Firm (see the headings to sections 78 and 82). The occasion was likely that of a council meeting of members of the United Firm, which discussed the pressing temporal needs of the Church. An earlier meeting of the firm on April 10 had resolved that the organization be dissolved. This revelation directs that the firm instead be reorganized; its properties were to be divided among members of the firm as their stewardships. Under Joseph Smith’s direction, the phrase “United Firm” was later replaced with “United Order” in the revelation.
Circular economy? Community ownership? YES. #solarpunk
