According to our holy religious books, God has created everything in the world for the benefit of human beings. Since the beginning of time, people have been inventing many things to make civilization more prosperous. Thanks to the invention of the wheel, we can travel long distances today; thanks to the invention of the spaceship, people have been able to go to the land of the moon; and thanks to the advancement of technology, the whole world has come to our fingertips. There are countless other inventions through which humans have enriched civilization. But there are many inventions made by man that are causing his destruction. Every day, these inventions are slowly turning the world into a pile of destruction, including humans.

If you had the power to permanently delete one thing from the Earth, what would it be and why?

---

The one thing I want to delete from the earth forever is plastic. Every year, thousands of tons of plastic materials are produced; these do not mix with the soil, and part of them is not recyclable, so they are gradually accumulating as waste in the local landfill. And various pollutants are spreading from it. The burning of polymer material is more dangerous because it becomes a hydrocarbon and gets into the air, increasing the level of pollution.

If more than 5 grams of plastic enter the body in a week, it can cause various problems in our bodies. The microbeads in it pollute our environment. When plastic waste is incinerated, the invisible microparticles released from it pollute the air. It does not decompose even after hundreds of years, due to which it mixes with the soil and pollutes it. Countless marine corals are destroyed by this plastic waste.

Plastic has many components that become waste after one use. In our country, when plastic waste accumulates in various drains, waterlogging occurs during monsoons with little rain. Most of the rivers in Bangladesh have become dead rivers due to the accumulation of plastic waste, and this plastic is responsible for destroying the corals of Cox's Bazar, which is the longest sea beach in the world. So the one thing I want to delete from this earth forever is plastic.

How will its absence have a positive impact on society, nature and mankind? explain.

I think the absence of plastic will have a positive impact on society, nature, and mankind. In the early days when there was no use of plastic, people still lived their lives well, so it can be said that there was no burden of waste like plastic on the earth then.

Plastics are primarily responsible for environmental pollution. In its absence, if the plastic is not burned, there will be no air pollution caused by it, and people will be able to consume clean air. Plastic does not decompose, so it mixes with the soil and pollutes it. Therefore, if it is not available, soil pollution will be prevented, soil fertility will increase, it will produce good crops, and mankind will benefit a lot.

Human mental health depends a lot on nature. And the cleaner the nature, the better the mental condition of the people in society. Therefore, a world free of plastic waste will create a desire for people to be healthy in society and bring positivity into the system.

Plastic mixes with water in various ways and falls into the sea and causes damage to fish, including corals, so without it, sea creatures will regain their corals and nature's ecology will occur properly.

What can we substitute for it that has the power to resist all subsequent devastation?

---

The utility of plastic materials is so evident to us that we use them despite knowing about their destructiveness. Yes, I agree that plastic is benefiting us in many ways, but it goes without saying that in the long run it will become a major threat to the extinction of mankind, so we have to accept its alternative today or tomorrow.

As an alternative to plastic polythene, we can use jute material, which can reduce the use of plastic to the maximum extent while at the same time being environmentally friendly. In place of the components made of plastic, we can use the components made of metal, which can be recycled again.

Glassware can be used as an alternative to plastic bottles, jugs, mugs, etc. At the same time, if we continue the research work, then one day we will definitely get an alternative to the world-wide consumables made from it.
