    Meanwhile here on Western coastline in India, scientists have found bacteria present in mangroves forest that can help in decaying plastics. They have been lab testing if they use them to manage plastic wastes. Please search on the web to get full information on the matter.

    The "entangled roots of mangroves" store the carbon from parts of trees when fell off into the soultand decompose. Thus acts as a carbon vault that remains intact as for millennia as long as mangroves remain safe. This is the most important reason why we should protect mangrove if not planting new trees.

      You might wanna research mini-ecosystem of vegetables and see how they work.
