Why did you jump to the claim that landfills are the only environmental concern for plastics? (Granting your brief aside on oceanic plastics.) There is plastic in our biological waste: https://time.com/5431668/microplastics-human-waste-study/ https://time.com/5431668/microplastics-human-waste-study/ There is plastic in some of the most remote places on the planet: https://www.npr.org/2019/04/15/713561484/microplastic-found-even-in-the-air-in-frances-pyrenees-mountains https://www.npr.org/2019/04/15/713561484/microplastic-found-... There are microplastics in our soil: https://www.unenvironment.org/news-and-stories/story/plastic-planet-how-tiny-plastic-particles-are-polluting-our-soil https://www.unenvironment.org/news-and-stories/story/plastic... And the ecological impacts of this are only beginning to be researched: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/sep/12/worms-fail-to-thrive-in-soil-containing-microplastics-study https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/sep/12/worms-fa... It used to be thought that the only evidence of humanity that might still be visible on Earth in a million years is a thin layer of slightly radioactive material around the globe, a result of nuclear weapons testing. Now we have written another, even more obvious and long-lasting signature into the planet: a thin layer of plastic pollution that in all likelihood will outlast anything resembling modern humans. (And I say that with an overall optimism about the lifespan of modern humanity.)
