I'm legitimately concerned there's a threshold for too many microplastics in the environment and that once we pass it life will become unsustainable.
But for a glorious moment in time there were mountains of funko pops and wrappers for packages that contained 3 small cookies in landfills.
And lots of shareholder profits! Don't forget what's most important after all.
maybe human life, but bacteria are already appearing that can digest various kinds of plastics if they cant find better food. nature is healing.
Imagine if that's all we ended up being in time. A brief flicker of immense plastic production and away into the dustbin of history.
"Imagine," you say, like that's not the most likely possible outcome...
Truly the darkest timeline.
"death cultists die en masse", most unexpected headline
Imagine all the people,
Leaving a common trace...
I don't think ending life in earth is that easy, besides it would just incentive lifeforms that can break down plastic over time. It might become unsustainable for humanity however.
