I'm still waiting for nature to figure out how to process plastics and bring down most of the world's infrastructure with it. But I'm not qualified to actually know if this is even possible

There's fungi that are eating the pacific trash patch, but the issue is that there's not much energy to be gained from plastics we use. It's slow.

Maybe teach that fungus how to photosynthesize.

Or cell scale fusion.
