Plastic roads

India has a garbage problem.  Up to 40% of the waste is not collected.  Plastic waste of 15,000 tons is discarded every day.

Would you describe the plastic as a "gift from the gods?"  That's how an Indian chemistry prof describes it - because he came up with a way to use it in asphalt.  Over 3,000 miles of "plastic roads have been laid . . ."

So the method is proven.  But that's not all there is to it.  "In a country where throwing garbage onto the roads and littering in public areas are acceptable behaviors, it's going to require a social transformation . . Culture is now the most important part."
