Molecular Chindogu: Bisphenol A
There have been many (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,) articles published in the past 48 hours about Canada declaring Bisphenol A a toxin. Thereby banning the use of polycarbonate in all food and beverage containers (e.g. Nalgene bottles, most baby bottles and some canned formula linings). According to Wikipedia, "...(Bisphonal A) is a difunctional building block to several important polymers and polymer additives. Bisphenol A has become controversial because it mimics estrogen and thus could induce hormonal responses." It comes to mind that Bisphenol A is a solution that is causing more problems than it is solving (on medical, fiscal, and social planes). Therefore, I am submitting it to the Unuseless chopping block.

drink pee
Conserving water, among other things, is of vital importance to our future. But, I reckon, if you the average american to drink their own urine, they will say no. Even if it is filtered, the current social embarrassment experienced, will most certainly prevent these devices from going viral. Maybe in the near future personal urine filtration devices will be as much of a green badge as the prius is.
