"The plastics revolution? Oh, yeah, that was us too. After the bumpy landing at Roswell we needed a whole bunch of cheap petroleum solids to get back into space. Too suspicious to start drilling and manufacturing it ourselves. Yeah, when you send a bunch of plastic bags and bins to be recycled, that gets shunted to our xenoshelters at US Air Force bases. So yeah, keep on recycling! It's not good for the planet, but it sure helps us keep the saucers in the air." #microfiction
