The  topic of this article is about helping the environment. The title of this is call “How Tiny Mealworms May Help Reduce Our Massive Plastic Pollution Problem.” This article is from http://www.dogonews.com.

This article is about a couple scientist who have found unlikely natural solution to get  rid of the world of this dangerous plastic. Scientist discovered that mealworms turns out that tiny larval forms of the darkling beetle, is the what will help them get rid of plastic. This surprising revelation was made by a team of researchers from California’s Stanford University and China’s Beihang University. In the study that was published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology on September 30th, the scientists exposed 100 mealworms to Styrofoam.

The issue with this article is that people will think by the mealworms eating the plastic, and Styrofoam will not be good for the mealworms health. My feelings toward this event is positive because they have discovered a great way to get rid of the plastic that is harming our world. I don’t feel that the mealworm will be harmed through this because they have done a lot of experiments on where it’s okay for the mealworms health. They are even trying to produce an enzyme that will help the mealworms health to digest the plastic. This affects me greatly because it will help my planet’s environment.

  This event impacts the world extremely. It extremely impacts the world because this is a way to help the environment become healthier and better for our water and soil. If our soil is harmed by the plastic and Styrofoam it made the crops we grow not healthy for us to eat. This will make us humans eating food that is not good for us and will harm us. This is why this event impacts the world because it’s a solution to the world’s plastic waste problem. If we want our world to continue to thrive we need to take care of it and by doing this new discovery it will help the world become a better place.
