Plastic-eating organisms

We all know that plastics are not good for the environment because they take millions of years to break down. But luckily, there are some special organisms called "plastic-eating organisms" that can break down these plastics very quickly! These organisms are like tiny eaters that are very good at eating away the plastic and breaking it down into tiny tiny pieces over time. This helps make sure all the plastic doesn't stay in the environment, and stops it from polluting land and water.
