I'm told this isn't as true as I thought it was and many things I thought we used oil for we use other fossil fuels for. Still holds I thinkhttps://twitter.com/DRMacIver/status/815923880556720129 …
I wonder how much recycling contributes and how much plastic just decomposes. I can see glass being more of a closed loop...

Not sure. A lot of plastic is hard to recycle and doesn't decompose, but I don't have numbers. Supposedly modern plastic is better.

All I know is there are tons of things that eat plastic, I just have no idea if they get to it, e.g., http://news.stanford.edu/pr/2015/pr-worms-digest-plastics-092915.html …

There are even more things that eat plastic but really shouldn't. :-( It's a major food chain problem when it gets into the ocean.

I fear we're derailing though into negative stuff again. I am aware, e.g., turtles suffocate, etc., etc.
-
I think when we started with "I'm legit worried about the apocalypse" negative isn't that much of a derail, but yeah. :-)

Oh, I feel you: I grew up in an on-going cold war — have always been thinking/dreaming of being near end of life as we know it.
