The planet’s garbage problem has finally met its match: Garbagenius, a plastiglomerate creature that emerged from Earth’s stomach. This tenacious creature is more durable than anything else on the planet, and its eternal regeneration from garbage makes it immortal. As it multiplies, Garbagenius creates new spaces for humans to inhabit, foreshadowing a new era of sustainability in which garbage becomes a source of life, not a problem. By embracing the potential of waste and working to create sustainable systems that use it, we can take a step toward a healthier future for our planet.
