Scientists Turn Paper Waste Into Aerogel (inhabitat.com)
Kristine Lofgren writes: A team of scientists have successfully turned paper waste into aerogel. Aerogels are used in insulation, and they are usually made out of polymers and silica. But a research team at the National University of Singapore managed to make the highly sought-after product using recycled paper, which could have huge implications not only for the rate at which we are filling up our landfills, but also for the amount of chemicals that we are producing and releasing into the environment.
Well, they could make aerogel out of children if that makes you feel better.
Seriously? Why must every scientific advancement help children?

I believe in making the world safe for our children, but not our children's children, because I don't think children should be having sex.
