Blob Water
from We Have Concerns Hosted by Jeff Cannata/Anthony Carboni
Plastic water bottles are a massive global pollution problem, but new biotech aims to replace traditional non-biodegradable containers with a thin algae membrane. The result is an amorphous spheroid of H2O that is inexpensive to produce and has zero impact on the environment. Anthony and Jeff are ready for the blob water future, and have been working up a series of biohacker adventure novels in anticipation. We Have Concerns is entirely listener supported!
