What is geoscience?
Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

would mean that they still exist in the environment
kinda feels like what's been happening is the perpetuation of news that ingrains "out of sight out of mind" mentality
btw this isn't a criticism against you and more with some news organizations
Edit: I misunderstood please see comment chain below
I thought the nuance of what I was saying would be recognized by communities like this.
Yes, technically it still exists in the environment. Nothing is ever made to not exist. What I meant was that it would no longer be able to be ingested by any creatures. This is after all where our petroleum deposits came from, millenia of plankton and other creatures dying and being covered up by other matter.
ahh I see
thank you for the clarification as it seems I misunderstood
fair enough, this I can definitely get behind +1
