we're living through a similar period but with plastics :)

    It's the circle of life. Plastics are a petrochemical, and those trees created our coal.

    Now plastics weren't technically evolved (unless you count human evolution)...but at least we got CRISPR to maybe speed things along with "evolving" a plastics predator.

    i dont really know why human activity should be special. it's evolved creatures doing weird shit, producing (temporarily?) undigestible stuff. there's no rule saying you cant have the production outside your body, it's just customary to use organs.
