Some bugs have also been found that were capable of eating plastic.
I imagine after humans there will be a period where you will see all sorts of flora and fauna that have evolved to live off the waste humans left behind.

Reply to comment by Grand-wazoo in Scientists Create a Vaccine Against Fentanyl by agaperion
It's all a result of the war on drugs and of course pharmaceutical companies like Purdue that profit off of addiction. Once the feds started cracking down on opioid prescriptions fentanyl became a cheap alternative. Manufactured in clandestine labs in China, far easier to traffic than heroin. The feds need to step back and the focus needs to be on harm reduction, access to treatment, and education.

Now if only government will stop subsidizing coal. I don't know why we should even need to burn coal in the 21st century.
