Incredible news for all those of us concerned about the mounting plastics and damage we do to our environment. Plastic eating fungus has been discovered at a rubbish dump in Pakistan.
I must admit, I'm not entirely surprised, as nature usually finds a way to return itself to balance, but considering how recently plastics were discovered, evolution seems to have worked extra quickly on this one.
I imagine it takes a good while for it to digest the plastic though. Better break out the antacid!
