Hey there,

Just thought I’d share this link. It seems that researchers at Yale University have just discovered a fungus in the Amazon that eats polyurethane.

Check it out.

Tax dollars or private funding?...I bet they need to do more research.....or get more funding....yeah,,, give us more research money.....that's the ticket....

I switched to polystyrene foam......polyester resin will eat polystyrene before you can say "recyclable"....more like melt down! To much fun...
