Yup. The whole reason we use plastic for everything is because it's cheap and mostly inert (i.e. doesn't break down in the environment). If plastic starts rotting we are going to be in for a really bad time. It's difficult to even imagine the cost of all the damage. Seems like we're a decently far way off from that point though.
- TheSpiceIsLife 7y agoIt pains me to think about all the plastic items I’ve bought over the years that weren’t up to the task; degraded in the sun to the point of failure; or otherwise ended up in landfill. Ideally any bacteria, or other microbes, would only breakdown plastics under certain conditions, probably in some kind of bioreactor.
