Yes, certainly. The value of plastics is incalculable. (Personally, if there were a plastic-eating bacteria introduced tomorrow, I would be dead within the week, rather than dead within a month or two like most people). I don't really feel bad about plastics, mostly I feel bad about the egregious stuff -- car tires, fishing gear -- stuff that does not end up in the landfill most of all, because it cannot be segregated from the environment.
