Not necessary, normal bacteria&friends are already doing it. Also funnily enough there is an increase in biodiversity because of the Great Pacific Garbage patch because sea life can attach to the trash, creating a new ecosystem.

Nature do be amazing like that.

Yeah but mass extinction events aren't a new thing on earth. People need to understand that climate is a problem because of selfish reasons.
