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.

plastic pollution fixed by humans! yay science! |
Again, prevention. Don't throw it into nature. Put it into biotrash can and later on that methane is collected and used to make energy (electricity). If your society hasn't stuff like that, maybe you should upgrade yourselves from the stone age.
Don't be so moron. I don't know is that easy fix or not, but is solves a lot of things.
