Best Answer

This is one of the strong arguments against using a lot of plastic: It doesn't. Fifty thousand years from now, when aliens from a distant galaxy land on the dry dusty earth and dig through the gray sand to find out whether there was ever life here, they'll find buried plastic. And BTW ... the word is "disintegrate".
