The termite: from pest to power
Atlantic Monthly has a wonderful article by Lisa Margonelli discussing the possiblity of termites helping humans produce a renewable type of gasoline called cellulosic ethanol. It’s a provocative article that alludes to the production of the new ethanol in the near future. Who would have thought? Its extremely exciting to see such innovative ideas spring up when we, as a country are in such a desperate need of it. And its also exciting to think of the possibilities of the new companies’ brands and marketing material. The notion of running our economy on “sawdust, lawn clippings and old magazines” is unique and deserves some new forms.
