IDEA: Disolving plastic
Having been in the engineering business for some years I know well that many plastics are not UV resistant and thus break down over time. Some of the plastic we recycle into the bins in not recycleable and therefore is simply placed in with normal land fill. The answer here is to help it break down in sunlight before it goes into the ground. Take all your none recycle plastic and lay it over your front or back lawn for 6 months to allow natural UV light to help dissolve it. This is a real eye sore I know but really works.
