Abstract

How to convert CO2 to bioplastics in the age of global warming Arpita Bose, PhD, Associate Professor, describes how to convert CO2 to bioplastics through new bugs and novel tools with a focus on fighting global warming. Global warming, caused by greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide (CO2) which trap heat in the atmosphere and warms the globe, is becoming increasing prevalent with unsustainable human activity and mass production. To tackle this, we need to begin looking to bioplastics to transition away from traditional petroleum products polluting our environment. While some sources of emissions causing global warming are natural, (e.g., volcanoes), the rate and intensity of natural emissions are not enough to cause the drastic temperature change observed in past decades. Nature is not contributing significantly to global warming; we are.
