You overhear a friend saying, “Plastic is the worst thing that humans have ever invented.”

In four to five sentences, explain whether you agree or disagree with your friend’s statement. Be sure to include facts that show the range of impacts that plastic has on human society and the environment. in kid words

I partly agree with my friend that plastic is not good because it can harm animals and nature. Plastic can take hundreds of years to break down, so it fills up landfills and oceans. When animals eat plastic thinking it's food, it can make them sick or even kill them. However, plastic is also helpful in many ways, like in making medical equipment and car parts. So, we should try to use less plastic and recycle it to help protect the environment.
