Choose one option

1. What is the opinion that Eben Bayer has about plastics?

A. He likes a lot the plastic.
B. He thinks it is a toxic white stuff that requires a huge amount of energy
to create and is slowly poisoning our planet.
C. He believes someday plastics will become a better kind of material to
use.

2. How does he and his team use the mushrooms?

A. He and his team like to eat mushrooms.
B. He likes to be creative with mushrooms.
C. He and his team create an entirely new class of materials, which
perform a lot like plastics during their use.

3. Are the things they do compostable? and what are they made of?
A. No, they are not compostable, they are made from plastics.
B. Yes, they are compostable, they are made from crop waste.
C. Yes, they are compostable, they are made from Styrofoam.

4. How many billions of dollars do plastics produce every year?

A. 21 billion dollars
B. 22 billion dollars
C. 20 billion dollars

5. Which are some examples he mentioned of the stuff that are made of
plastics?
A. Building materials, surfboards, coffee cups and table tops.
B. Building materials, cellphones, coffee cups and table tops.
C. Building materials, surfboards, candies, and table tops.

6. What happens when the plastics go to the ocean?

A. It decomposed quickly and totally.
B. It is being mechanically broken into smaller and smaller bits, but they
are not really going away. They are not biologically compatible. So, it
cannot be decomposed.
 C. It does not decompose but the organism that lives in the ocean can
feed on it and that will decompose the plastic totally.

7. Which is the material that is made from benzene, can be carcinogen and you
may find it inside you?
A. Bisphenol A.
B. Styrofoam.
C. Styrene.

8. Which are the three key principles you can use to guide these materials?
A. Feedstocks from nature, rather than petroleum, people must strive to
use far less energy in creating these materials and the most important,
make materials that fit into nature's recycling system.
B. Feedstocks like petroleum, people must strive to use far less energy in
creating these materials and make materials that fit into nature's
recycling system.
C. Feedstocks, rather than petroleum, people must strive to use more
energy in creating these materials and make materials that fit into
nature's recycling system.

9. What is the name of the part of the mushrooms that is analogous to the roots
of the trees?

A. Mushrooms roots.
B. Mycelium.
C. Leaves.

10. What are the basic steps to make their materials from mushrooms?
A. Choose a feedstock, take this feedstock, and put in a mold, in
whatever shape you want to get, then, grow the mycelium through
these particles and the final step is the product, which can be a
packaging material, etc.
B. Choose a feedstock, take this feedstock, and put in a mold, in
whatever shape you want to get, then, put the mycelium and the final
step is the product.
C. Choose a feedstock, take this feedstock, and put in a mold, in
whatever shape you want to get and finally grow the mycelium through
the consumer product that will be finally in there.

11. In the video he showed, what is the order of the processes they do in the
continuous system?
A. Cook, clean, cool, and pasteurize the material which continuously is
inoculated with mycelium.
B. Clean, cook, cool, and pasteurize the material which continuously is
inoculated with mycelium.
C. Clean, cook and pasteurize the material which continuously is
inoculated with mycelium.
 12. How many days does the self- assembled material need?
A. 5.
B. 15.
C. 25.

13. What were they making to protect the tables in shipment?

A. Corner blocks.
B. Plastic packaging buffer.
C. Furniture.

14. Why do they use mycelium?

A. It is not locally open feedstock, has no self-assembly, needs a lot of
equipment to set up a production facility and finally 100 percent of
what you put in the tool does not become the final product.
B. It is too easy to grow in 15 days.
C. It is locally open feedstock, has self-assembly, doesn´t need a lot of
equipment to set up a production facility and finally 100 percent of
what you put in the tool becomes the final product.
