all plastics are hard to degrade because it is composed by long chains of molecules. it is very hard for Micro organisms  to break that especially with double and tripple bonds. it is even worse if they are more complex liek adding styrene. styrene has a benzene rings are the most stable molocules in organic chemistry and the harshest to break down. and polystyrene is just a common basic plastic

You are right [TD]Roach but I picked polystyrene because it's used quiet alot for packageing, cups food trays so it might not be the worst plastic but is used in big quantities it makes it quiet bad for the environment.

I don't see a day coming any time soon when the daily newspaper is replaced by the daily "newsplastic"

well i am not saying ban plastic Smiley but i know that sun tablets have those new plastic dissolvable wraps around them just not to get filthy finger. totally useless i think but it shows that some plastics are quite solluble in water. that is a step in biodegrading it quicker.

yea thats quite cool the way they do that, check this for a kick in the teeth for green peace, (the enviromental lot) everything in our solour system is recicled atoms and so are we. our solour system was formed from a giaent dust cloud that was produced when one of the first stars in the univer exsploded. (a super star) . so as our sun is going to exsplode and distroy everything in our solour sytem leaving nothing but dust to help form another solour system everything is renewable(coal oil, me you)

There is evidence to sugest that oil is not, in fact, a fossil fuel at all, and is constantly being produced in the earth's mantle

lol, well actually a statement from shell oil said so as well, so i guess you can safely say we are running out of they stuff. plus the fact that oil reserves that were there as few decades ago are now dried up (countries who used to export oil now don't or export a lot less, yet you less oil themselves as a result)

I believe they're reffering to older deposits that have been, quite simply put, sucked dry.  There really isn't any reason why the new deposits would form where the old ones were.
