How long does it take to decompose and how long would it last if it was filled? Does it change the taste of the liqiud contents?

Brilliant thinking. I like using my own glass, but if I was traveling and had to buy a water in emergency thirst, I would by this.

Do you think it tastes like algae?

Clever, however algae is also a resource. If all plastic bottles are replaced with this, we will probably face the same problem as with cutting trees. Increase of CO2 etc. Unless of course they grow up REALLY fast and can be cultivated. If they can't, I think that recycling plastic bottles is a workable solution. Just don't throw them away! Recycle.

Love it would like to get in touch with Ari, how can I find him?

Michael Brandon your talking utter c**p we have a massive litter and waste problem on earth open your eyes

This is amazing! It really shows that there are things we can do to change the future but we're in a way putting it on the long finger. Although there are many people who are working so hard to change things

Cool!!! I WANT!

There are a number of obstacles to make this a success. The biggest one is convincing retailers to stock this rather than the plastic versions, profit will always be their 1st goal and if its not selling it has little chance. Personally I think the law needs to enforce a policy to give it any chance of success.

This is a very smart invention, but to be honest I don't know if I would drink out of it

let me just copy paste my comment from facebook: We are not going to live on a ball of trash.... It simply won't happen. Have you heard of a show called "B******t!" by Penn & Teller? They showed that you could build a 35 square mile landfill at 200 feet high, and it would store America's trash for 1000 years. A THOUSAND YEARS. The proposed area of landfill would be but a dot on the map of the US, but obviously they're not gonna build one super landfill, but the point is, there is MORE than enough land to hold our trash, there is NOT a garbage crisis, it's all B******t!
