so i had a 3d printer and still help people 3d print stuff for so long, but it was only today that i learned that pla plastic comes from corn. now thinking back to why i sold my 3d printer, i didn't use it enough, but a big part of it was that i didn't want to make a bunch of plastic stuff in the world that wouldn't degrade, but then i learned that pla plastic is not just industry-compostable, but the actual best way to get rid of excess pla plastic is to just burn it, and not only that, it's exceptionally recycleable if i didn't want to burn it. so now maybe i should get a 3d printer now that i realized that pla plastic is actually not horrible for the environment...
