"The very best solutions not only come up with a brilliant answer to an
important problem, but often manage to help address other issues too.
Here's one that seems to fit that bill, pointed out to us by Izabella
Kaminska. It's called Plastic Bank, and its core idea is to address the
growing problem of plastic waste on the land and in the world's oceans
and rivers, especially in poorer countries. But along the way, it might
achieve much more."
An intriguing idea.
Share and enjoy,
