Now this is some feel-good crap that just makes me want to puke. I mean it's great. I think it's a great idea, & kudos to whoever thought it up, but ugh. For some reason the Barney song just popped into my head... nooooooooo!!! Seriously, though, there were some smart people who worked on this project... don't you think they could've devoted their minds to more meaningful endeavors?

"Materials company Pvaxx Research & Development, at the request of U.S.-based mobile phone maker Motorola Inc., has come up with a polymer that looks like any other plastic, but that degrades into soil when discarded. Researchers at the University of Warwick in Britain helped to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed, which feeds on the nitrates formed when the polyvinylalcohol polymer cover turns to waste."
