Only enough intelligence to know what the bag is used for it seems.
I often think if we were as inteligent as we as a species believe we are that instead of leaving rubbish and monuments to dead mens greatness we would be more determined not to leave any sign of our presence... we think we are the head of the food chain but what if there is something out there who feeds on worlds like us... would we be easy to spot or not...
I wonder if future generations having run out of plastic will mine these regions... mmm maybe that is where coal can from in the first place mountains of compressed plastic generated by an earlier species..less intelligent than us
