I always wonder if the earth will survive plastics. When they degrade, they just degrade into smaller & smaller particles. What's going to happen when the earth is choked with microscopic plastics at the microbial level and starts impacting life at that level? Any plastics engineers care to chime in? I'm thinking that isn't going to be good.  There are already type(s) of bacteria that have evolved (or been created) to eat plastic. Bacteria are amazing things. Didn't oil eating bacteria like that get put into the Gulf of Mexico to eat up all that BP oil spill and isn't that what is causing that dead zone in the Gulf now tho? I mean, once you put that stuff out there, how do you control it?
