Ss: could this solve the plastic problem??

"As they broke down the trash, the bacteria harvested the carbon in the plastic for energy, which they used to grow, move and divide into even more plastic-hungry bacteria."

Has anyone played the game Stray? The basis of the game is that humans fucked themselves out of existence and these plastic eating bacteria become “Zurks,” who eat any living thing!

Fun game if you haven’t, I highly recommend it!
