Environmental S.O.S. For Water-Soluble, Biodegradable Bottle Caps

OK, all you entrepreneurs, scientists, techno-twits, and geeks - let alone captains of industry who are looking for a way to make an honest-to-goodness difference. Take another look at these photos of baby birds that are dying because they're eating plastic bottle caps.

Yes, we need to phase out plastic bottles, and the sooner the better.

But in the meantime, can't all you wizards come up with a bottle cap that will protect its contents securely but once discarded, degrade in a very short period of time?

You've gotta be able to do it. Talk to the folks at Frito-Lay, who have figured out how to package their snack packs in plant-based, biodegradable bags. In fact, why don't we urge Frito's parent company, Pepsi, to take the lead?  Start here.

That picture is so sad. I agree that packaging needs to be better designed! I wonder if birds eat metal bottlecaps, or if that hasn't been a problem.

Given the peculiarities of geology, almost all aquifers of Moscow and Moscow region contain a large extent the natural alpha-and beta-emitting radionuclides (polonium, radium, uranium, lead, etc.) that often manifests itself in an excess of, primarily, the total alpha -activity.

certificate of ISO 9001-2008Opredelenie radionuclides in drinking water is the basis for reducing the radiation exposure on humans. MIC ISL recommends that a definition of total alpha-and beta-activity. This will allow you to be completely sure that no water will be contaminated. Because the contamination is very dangerous, it can cause substantial harm to human health!

Water is one of the most important things in the world and we have to protect it.

We simply must preserve this gift of nature essential to our survival
