Here is some "science" about it: when your hand is about to throw some plastic trash into nature you do "No hand, no! Don't throw it into nature." 
We can use similar science to many other things. It's called as prevention. Some mega science stuff, top notch really. |
but since you brought up plastics,
this is how humans "fixed" that problem:
Two words: biodegradable plastics.
After all, nobody likes those plastic bags flitting on tree tops or floating in the ocean, essentially forever.
But a new analysis shows that biodegradable plastics, particularly those that break down fast, are contributing to climate change. Because when disposable utensils made from the plastic called PHBO get to landfills, microbes break them down and make methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
