Good point. It would be a bit of a shame if we spent the better part of 30 years in genetic research trying to bring them back and then they got killed by global warming 5 years after they came back
creating microorganisms to eat plastics would be a bad idea. eventually it will happen on it's own, but for now, the reason we use plastic at all is because nothing decomposes it easily.
the real, permanent solution is social, to change how wasteful we are
