I felt a strange urge to buy me some bugs and let them eat my plastic garbage after watching this video 😂

Someone commented that microplastics would still emerge during/after bugs have dealt with plastics.
Do we have any bug existing that could eliminate microplastics as well?

I also just don’t care about plastic pollution that much… at least not compared to carbon emissions. I mean don’t get me wrong, I’d rather we didn’t have crap everywhere… but I’d rather we focused on minimizing carbon, even if the low carbon options happen to involve plastic.

It's not a binary choice
