Great, and inevitable. This isn’t the first time this has happened. In the Carboniferous era, wood evolved with no corresponding microbes to break it down. Many of the coal deposits today date from that era simply due to the shear amount of wood that could not biodegrade. It was kind of inevitable, at least in my eyes, that something similar would happen for plastic given how present it is in the environment.

This, and the rise of antibiotic resistant bacteria, is why anyome who doesn’t believe in evolution has a blindfold on.
