B Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste enter the ocean, harming sea animals and polluting the environment.Scientists are now exploring a new way to solve this problem: using bacteria that can "eat" plastic.In 2025, a team from Japan discovered a bacterium, Ideonella sakaiensis, that can break down PET plastic (the type used in bottles) into harmless substances.This discovery gives hope for recycling plastic more efficiently. However, the bacteria work slowly.It takes weeks to break down a small bottle.Researchers are trying to speed up the process by modifying the bacteria's genes.A Chinese research group has developed a mutated version that works five times faster.They plan to test it in a pilot plant in Qujing, Yunnan, where plastic pollution is also a concern. While this technology is promising, it is not a complete solution.We still need to reduce our use of plastic, reuse containers, and recycle properly.As a student, you can help by carrying a reusable water bottle and avoiding single-use plastic bags. 26.What problem is mentioned at the beginning of the passage?
