Thanks, since we start as a very small drop, the first life form we meet has to be the phytoplankton. And at that time, we don't have much abilities apart from moving. And also, we can't really change that given the amount of time left for the final submission.

But I had this thought about cleaning microplastics: they can't just disappear like that, it's not magical. So maybe the harsh truth would be that the drop actually absorbs them, carrying a burden it was not responsible for in the first place. Everyone can relate to that as a human being born in this century or the previous one, the damages are already there even though we're not responsible for them, and we have to deal with them.
