How can material be made from plants, using mainly brassica Oleracea? Since I have been little, I have really admired plants and thinking about a grown tree verses a miniature tree, is what the broccoli reminds me of. It also is almost like a version of something inside every human being on this planet. They look like a bokeh of bronchioles and Alveolus. Thinking about material for health is how this idea revitalizes my mind considering the fact that it is biodegradable. Remembering a phase in my life when someone close to me had pneumonia. When it felt like the broccoli structure inside them was decaying, which reminds us that as an infant our lungs look naturally shrunk, but as we grow, they are expanding and maturing and making fresh room for us. Just like the trees on this planet do. The binomial nomenclatures on this planet are smiling by radiating clean energy from the environment. Thinking about broccoli as a tree which is completely green in colour... Wow, that would be so special! Who has ever seen a completely sapphire green tree, but little did I realize that when these vegetables grow may generate waste stems and leaves which are very nurturing and nutritious and can be used to make textiles?
