Or incorporate it. Basically what George Carlin said. Evolution will witness a new paradigm of life plus plastic and will keep evolving as if nothing matters.
It took 60m years for fungi to evolve to break down lignin (trees) and the eventual oxidation of the lignin decay products has caused the most rapid climate shift we have ever seen
That next 60 will breeze by as well
Is 60 million years not too long?
On the grand scale of time it isn’t
I think chances are higher we all die, the microplastics get embedded in a layer of rock worldwide, and nature moves on without us. Evolution is way too slow to keep up with manmade horrors.
