First of all, remember that all the plastic we have comes from plankton.
So it can be easily replaced somehow in a more compostable way and even edible way by leaving plankton, actually.
We are working on some prototype.
I mean, plastic comes from petroleum.
Petroleum is this sedimented plankton that died like a billion years ago.
I hadn't thought of that.
Yeah, out of our oil consumption, we consume one million years of sedimented plankton.
So every year, we consume one million years of diplankton who's sedimented.
So that oil is plankton.
So we can replace that with plankton or with some of the descendants like we do with plant or seaweed.
And actually plastic may harm some planet and plastic may benefit to some others.
I mean, it's always the same.
And that's an interesting story about it because we will not destroy life in the ocean.
Life has been very resilient.
It will be there.
The question is not about whether life will stay in the ocean.
The question is whether the ecosystem we are sitting on will remain.
If life changes in the ocean, we will disappear because we are adapted to a very specific environment.
mix of life.
And if it changes, then we will disappear.
