Pepsi's new bottle

PepsiCo has launched a new bottle made entirely of plant material. The bottle is made from switch grass, pine bark, corn husks, and other material. At a later date they might also use orange peels, potato scraps, and other food related items. Maybe this could end our need on oil for plastic bottles.

Green Grass

Ceres, a company out of Thousand Oaks, CA has been working on developing a genetically modified switchgrass plants. The plants can be grown in saltwater. The plants can be used for biodeisel fuel. Several years ago a company developed a type of grass that could grow in saltwater. The thought was that the grass can be used in golf courses where saltwater was available and could reduce watering costs and since bugs did not eat the grass, it reduced the need for pesticide. If Ceres can develop grass and other plants for the sport market it can produce great opportunities for the sport facility industry.
