Plactitosis

The discovery
The origin of plactitosis is actually a tree which would later be named The Eithra tree. On a long hike Jim Copper and his Husband Cody Jonson stumbled apon an interesting looking tree. They for some reason had a Maple tap and decided to tap it. A pink gooey substance came out and they tried to put it into a reusable plastic water bottle. As they put in the substance in the bottle the bottle dissolved in there hands but the substance did not harm them. The called a scientist friend, Matilda Versos and she took it in a glass bottle to a lab. This is where things get interesting. Testing was done and found it dissolved all types of plastic in an instant. "it was remarkable." Says Matilda.

The landfills downfall
After a 6 month testing period the chemical was being shipped out and more of the Eithra trees were being planted. A bill was passed to dig up old landfills and dissolve the plastic that remained there. Thousands of volunteers were recruited and they got to work. after months of vigorous work all landfills had been eliminated. All of the landfill workers were given a position at there local recycling plants. "The results were worth every second of our time and money." Says President Danny Devito.

Our ocean plastic problems
Although it was 2078 the ocean was still dealing with its 2020 plastic problem. The chemical could not be poured into the ocean as the water would dilute it. This was an issue because 2020 left the oceans in horrible conditions. "The oceans are a train wreck." A California surfer claimed. It seemed like we would be stuck with our polluted oceans forever.

The oceans solution
It seemed the ocean had no hope but then an idea was thought up. "What if we put containers of this chemical on the beaches that way when people find plastic they can dissolve it." President Danny Devito said. September of 2080 a bill was passed to go through with Devitos idea. The ocean clean up crews were also given some of this chemical and told to put the trash they pulled out in there.

2081
Now in march of 2081 climate change has been a thing of the passed. All cars are electric. Single use plastic had been eliminated. Landfills have been replaced with recycling centers. Fossil fuels were eliminated a while ago. 2081 has been the first year to have a climate from 10000 years ago. Climate change has been cured!
