Guy Kawasaki, the mastermind behind a few sites I now frequent, sent a tweet for an item listed at Truemors that caught my eye: CD’s and DVD’s from Carbon Dioxide
I quickly did a search to see who else had picked up on this and other than the article at Truemors and the original article, "CDs and DVDs to be made with CO2 emissions", I couldn't find any. Where are the global warming pessimists now? Where is Al Gore?
Billions, perhaps trillions, of CDs and DVDs are manufactured each year. If they all start using carbon dioxide as the basis for the polycarbonate plastics, how long will it be before global warming won't be much of a threat anymore (if it even is a threat right now)? Scientists are even talking of using it for the basis of polyurethane plastics (think skateboard wheels).
If all the manufacturers jump on the bandwagon, I predict the death of trees in about 50 years due to the carbon dioxide depletion from the atmosphere. Not only that, but the dry ice manufacturers will be out of business too. Hey, it makes as much sense as global warming!
