The futures so bright, it flowers!

I read today that in the Sci-Tech web-site that scientists have developed a new mobile phone case which is now bio-degradable. It could well encourage people to dispose of the phone parts (obviously, the battery and the innards still need careful disposal).
The case is made of a specific polymer that breaks down within two weeks of burial, and it contains a seed which then germinates when the case degrades.
This comes on the eve of new Government legislation which will force manufacturers to take back discarded phone parts after the phone has been disposed of. This new research could save everybody time and money, and will make the phone popular with environmentally conscious people.
