>In the March 19, 1997 of the Vancouver Sun, (page G9, bottom left) the
>following article appeared:

>' Plastic Plants
>London's Sunday Times reported that scientists have genetically
>engineered oilseed rape plants so that they grow plastic polymers in
>their leaves and seeds.  The US chemical manufacturer, Monsanto, will
>attempt to boost the content of the plant's plastic so it can be made
>into various household items such as plastic bags and bottles.
>   The new type of "natural" plastic is also biodegradable, so that once
>buried, it converts into harmless carbon dioxide and water within six
>months.  Farmers could be growing the plastic plant crops within 10
>years, according to the newspaper.'
>
>In commenting on this point, Dr. John Fagan, molecular biologist, explained
>that while facts may not yet be known for this particular variety of oilseed,
>in previous similar cases, the new constituents that are used in plastics
>are oils
>that are toxic to animals and humans. Thus when cross-pollination occurs
>with wild brassica, the wild plants produce things that are toxic to the
>deer, rabbits, and other wildlife, as well as humans.
