Poll Question: What should we do with medical waste?
You won’t find very many people these days who aren’t in favor of finding alternatives to gasoline, but are you willing to go this far?
A recent story in Forbes.com (click here for the blog post) reported that Dr. Craig Alan Bittner, a Beverly Hills, CA plastic surgeon, used the fat from liposuction procedures to fuel his SUV and his girlfriends Lincoln Navigator .
Is Dr. Bittner an innovator or did he take it too far? Should we be considering these options when disposing of medical waste?
