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

_{Hello Everyone
I am @sheponpal
From #Bangladesh}

I hope everyone is okay. I am also fine by Krishna's grace. First, I would like to thank all the admins and moderators of the @Steem4bangladesh community. Who organized such a beautiful engagement challenge for us? This is my first engagement post on the @Steem4Bangladesh community, and because of this, I am delighted. So let's get started…

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

Contest Hints- 1

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

If I had a superpower, I would remove Polythene from the Earth with that superpower.Polyethylene is a Polymer of the chemical substance Ethylene. Polythene is a severe pollutant to the environment. And all compounds made up of chemicals are a threat to the environment. This polyethylene combines many Ethylene monomers under high pressure and temperatures that persist in the environment. Any soil microorganisms or bacteria do not decompose Polyethylene. Therefore polyethylene is a non-biodegradable chemical compound.

Polyethylene is a non-biodegradable material. All non-biodegradable materials are a threat to the environment. Since Polyethylene is a non-biodegradable material, it remains intact in the environment for hundreds or thousands of years. Due to this, the environment is polluted. Polyethylene provides a barrier to environmental interaction. It causes a lot of soil pollution and water pollution. Polythene has been present in the environment for a long time and has a severe impact on the ecology of a place. Wherever this Polythene is in soil or water, it destroys the ecology of that place. Plant growth is reduced due to the obstruction of the ecosystem. Polythene not only harms the environment, it also causes serious harm to humankind. Prolonged exposure to Polythene can lead to cancer.

Moreover, burning this polyethylene produces a large amount of Carbon monoxide gas, damaging the Earth's Ozone layer. Carbon monoxide depletes the Ozone layer. And because of this weight-layer loss, the sun's ultraviolet rays harm the Earth's climate. So this Polythene cannot be destroyed from the Earth even if it is burnt. Even teaching harms the world in one way or another. So if I had any power, I would make this Polythene vanish from the Earth.

• How will its absence positively impact society, nature, and humankind? Explain.

Polythene is harming this Earth in many ways. If the use of Polythene is banned worldwide, the production of Polythene is stopped, and if I can remove Polythene from the Earth, it will have a very positive impact. It will be of great benefit to all the people of the world.

• How society will benefit if there is no Polythene:

Humans are social beings. People live together in society. Damage to society means damage to people. This use of Polythene is destroying the environment of our society—weight loss due to Polythene burning. Depletion of the Ozone layer is causing an increase in temperature in our polar regions daily. As a result, the polar region's ice is melting, and various countries and societies are drowning.

• How nature will benefit if there is no Polythene:

Polythene damages the environment the most. Using Polythene is destroying our environment. Without Polythene, our environment would not be polluted. Soil pollution, water pollution, and air pollution will be prevented. As Polythene gets dumped into the ocean, it destroys the marine ecosystem. Without Polythene, the ecology would be delicate. As a result, plant growth will not be affected. If you wrap the root of a plant in Polythene, you will see that the plant dies because the roots of the plants cannot get the necessary nutrients from the soil by penetrating this Polythene. The plant will die due to lack of nutrients. So without Polythene, there will be no deficiency in plant growth. And nature will also survive beautifully. The beauty of nature will remain.

• Positive impact on humankind:

If Polythene is not used, we, the human race, will significantly benefit. Prolonged exposure to Polythene can cause many diseases. It can even cause cancer. And the carbon monoxide gas produced by burning Polythene can enter our body with inhalation and destroy lung function. And breathing difficulties may occur. So if no Polytheneexists, we will be saved from all these deadly diseases. We can live a healthy life.

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

Nowadays, Polythene has become our daily essential material. It is used in each of our cases. Polythene is mainly used to transport anything. Moreover, Polyethylene is used to make plastic products and ropes. So we have to replace Polythene today with different biodegradable materials. Researchers from various universities are developing bags to transport goods using different parts of plants as an alternative to Polythene, which is perishable. We can use paper bags. And does not harm the environment. All those bags are used in the developed world. And developed countries are limiting the use of Polythene. Developing countries like ours are still using Polythene. We must replace Polythene with biodegradable bags as soon as possible. The country's people should be encouraged to limit the use of Polythene. And everyone should avoid using Polythene. Alternative to Polythene bags is biodegradable, so our environment will not be damaged.

Conclusion

We all have to protect the environment. Polythene is not the only one that spoils our environment. Many other types of materials can pollute the environment. So we have to be vocal about using these environmental pollutants. Environmental pollutants should be avoided. Awareness should be raised among the people. Only then will we get a beautiful world back?
