Student Isolates Microbe That Lunches On Plastic Bags

This might be the best science fair project ever. Waterloo high school student isolates microbe that lunches on plastic bags.

"Now a Waterloo teenager has found a way to make plastic bags degrade faster -- in three months, he figures. [16 year-old] Daniel Burd's project won the top prize at the Canada-Wide Science Fair in Ottawa. He came back with a long list of awards, including a $10,000 prize, a $20,000 scholarship, and recognition that he has found a practical way to help the environment."
