If plastic pollution kills the plankton it's all over.
We eat more fish than land mammals. If the plankton go, the fish go and we follow not long after.
Oh yeah, edit to add, if the plankton go, the oxygen goes too, so we might see the whole planet shift back to anaerobic conditions. Not fun.
> It is estimated that about 50% of the world's oxygen is produced via phytoplankton photosynthesis.
