WOW, one reader, Shirley-Ann, sent us an incredibly cool link a few days ago - a video introducing a new machine from Japan that literally turns plastic waste back into OIL :O
This machine is *SO* cool - check out the 5 minute video below to see the potential this technology has to change the current game here...we are *SUPER*-excited about this machine - we want to get one here in Vilcabamba as soon as possible to help reclaim the plastic waste here and turn it into something people can use again, instead of throwing into landfills or burning, as is the usual case here at the moment...the video is in Japanese with English subtitles - enjoy and please share this message with others if you think this kind of machine could be useful in YOUR communities :)
