Whilst #PlasticPolution is a extremely serious environmental problem, there are easy solutions.

1. Produce less (non biodegradable) plastic products.

2. Recycle plastic.

Generally, those that profit from manufacturing plastic products don't like solution 1 (they intentionally over produce plastic products) The public & the government [s] don't do enough of option 2.

Just learned about this documentary, Blue Vinyl. Looks like something worth watching!

Plastics were once touted as the material of the future but their resilience and longevity have caused global environmental problems. Could degradation by biological means be the solution we're looking for? #PlasticPolution #PLOSBiology
