I guess our only hope to ever clean this up is for evolution or bioengineering to give us some microplastic eating bacteria.

    Yes, and filling the environment with lots of plastic eating bacteria will also make it useless as a durable packaging material.

      Maybe? Wood is useful even though there are things that will eat it under the right conditions.

        Maybe we should use wood instead of plastic.
