SEC-S10W1: "What one thing would you want to delete from the Earth?".

Plastic pollution would be the thing I would remove from the planet forever if I could. It is a serious global environmental catastrophe that seriously compromises human health, wildlife, and ecosystems. By eliminating plastic pollution, we can lessen its terrible effects and make the world healthier and more sustainable.
The absence of plastic pollution would positively impact society, nature, and mankind in several significant ways:
Preservation of the environment: Eliminating plastic pollution will stop the buildup of non-biodegradable garbage, safeguarding biodiversity and ecosystems.
Ecosystem Health: By eliminating plastic pollution, ecosystems would be able to recover, sustaining the welfare of marine life, avian species, and other terrestrial animals that depend on these habitats.
Animals Preservation: By reducing plastic pollution, we can protect animals from harm and protect threatened and endangered species as well as the biodiversity as a whole.
Human Health: Reducing plastic pollution would lessen the possibility that harmful compounds from plastics would contaminate water supplies and food chains, which would benefit human health.
Sustainable Resource Management: By reducing plastic pollution, sustainable resource management strategies can be supported, facilitating the shift to a more environmentally friendly economy.
Economic Benefits: By reducing plastic pollution, new companies and job possibilities in sustainable alternatives may arise, spurring the economy's expansion.

Social Responsibilities: The lack of plastic pollution will encourage environmental stewardship and a sense of social responsibility, producing a society that is environmentally aware and supporting sustainable lifestyle choices.
Several possibilities are being investigated in order to combat plastic pollution and identify workable substitutes.
Here are several plastic alternatives that try to withstand further destruction: compostable material: Materials that can break down into nutrient-rich compost, hence reducing waste
Alternatives made of plant-based materials, such as hemp and bamboo, which are ecological replacements for plastic.
Paper and cardboard: are materials that are recyclable and renewable, making them ideal for packaging and lowering plastic waste.
Metal and glass: are both strong and recyclable packing materials, yet logistics may be difficult.
Reusable solutions: promoting the use of glass jars, cloth bags, and stainless steel water bottles to reduce the usage of single-use plastics
