Unlocking the Promise of Bio-Based Plastics

The growing global glut of crude and corresponding collapse in oil prices are reshaping short-term market dynamics. In this environment, it is easy to forget that – long term – industries that have traditionally relied on petroleum-based feedstocks must still innovate to sustainably meet the needs of a rapidly expanding global population. A global, connected middle class – expected to roughly double by 2030 – is rapidly changing the breadth and scale of consumer demand, as well as signaling the need to rethink how we meet it. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the plastics industry.

Participating in a Year of Service Can Pay Huge Dividends for Future Career

Idealism is the defining characteristic of youth and it has many expressions. Many young people yearn to do something meaningful to help others and to fix society’s myriad problems. The Peace Corps is an example of a successful effort aimed at channeling young Americans’ passion and energy to create positive change in our world. There are many other programs, like Teach for America and City Year, that provide the opportunity for young Americans to do service, but the U.S. has never developed a major nationwide initiative or campaign that has truly transformed how we think about national service in our country and how it can improve the quality of life for both U.S. citizens and people globally. Until now.
