As crucial environmental developments like this go unnoticed, the media continues to fixate on Just Stop Oil, prioritising sensationalist headlines over stories with genuine environmental impact.
We've always known that recycling 90% of plastics was a bullshit pipe dream. They cannot be recycled. Oil companies knew it. Governments knew it. Yet here we are churning out record volumes of "recyclable" plastics every year, 40 years later.
literally our only hope is that some lab manages to make a microbe that really can eat plastic and then it gets accidentally released into the wild and eats up all the plastics in 5 years
Who could have predicted this????
