Creatures, alive Earth, and something deep in us as well, watching us closely.

If life evolved from our current, plastic-debris-filled oceans, what would emerge? What if new creatures emerged that could live off of plastics?

It is very tempting to form kinship relationships with various substances and bacteria with pieces of floating plastic.
