Someday this could give the brand Nike Air a whole new connotation

Scientists from Germany are figuring out how to make various types of plastics from CO2. This is game changing for a number of reasons.

If this becomes viable, not only would we be able to reduce a human by-product in our air by turning it into physical objects, but the plastics being created have attributes like nothing we've ever made before. Some are even naturally bio-degradable.

Very cool.
