I agree with my friend's statement that plastic is one of the worst things humans have ever invented. While plastic has provided convenience and affordability in many aspects of our lives, it has also had devastating impacts on the environment. Plastic waste is a major contributor to pollution in oceans and waterways, harming marine life and ecosystems. Additionally, the production of plastic contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and depletes non-renewable resources. Microplastics have even been found in our food and water sources, posing potential risks to human health. Overall, the widespread use and disposal of plastic have had far-reaching negative consequences that outweigh the benefits it provides.
