    I am longing for plastic-eating bacteria to be released into the wild. There are other materials we can use.

      Like what? If you’re building an airplane or a sewer main all substitutes are inferior. The problem is that we’re using the ultra-permanent wonder material for, like, candy wrappers.

      I would like for you to meet my friend, the oyster mushroom. I’m wondering what level of soil accumulation we need to support massive, city-wide oyster mushroom blooms

      Yes, I am sure such a bacteria being released at this scale would have absolutely zero negative consequences
