Tiny Helpers might Save the Planet
One scientist does research on how mealworms eat plastic. “We all know that plastic waste is a big problem, especially in the oceans,” the scientist said. “We found out that mealworms, these tiny, harmless insects you see everywhere, can eat and break down different types of plastic.”

Back in 2015, the scientist first saw that mealworms could eat polyethylene. The worms want the energy that is made when the plastic’s bonds break. They do this with strong bacteria in their stomachs, turning most plastic into only hydrogen and carbon.

The scientist is now trying to figure out how a mealworm does its job. “We’re trying to find the bacteria and grow lots of them in big containers. You can put your plastic in there, and hopefully, it will all break down,” she says.

*mealworm　カブトムシの仲間の幼虫
*insect　昆虫
*back in ～　～にさかのぼる
*polyethylene　ポリエチレン（レジ袋やシャンプーボトルによく使われる）
*bond　結合
*stomach　胃
