Do you want to start a new game? Someone thinks of a specific use for a plastic, then people have to try and come up with either examples where it can be manufactured from non fossil fuel based substances or an alternative, non fossil based substance, that exibits the required properties and might be a realistic alternative. Then people can suggest reasons for and against the alternatives.
