Natural selection. The ecosystem is evolving; if you can't stop yourself from eating plastic you'll be wiped.

Some species cannot stop eating plastic, other populations can but will still be seriously harmed.

Keep in mind that humans introduced plastic and have control over its presence.

Perhaps the term „ecosystem evolution” is too general in this case; ecosystem destruction might be more accurate.

It’s up to us what is the next step. We can leave things up to natural selection, but do we want to?
