Plastic is causing a lot of issues on our planet such as polluting our oceans, third world countries, the wildlife that lives within the ocean and on land.
This ultimately harms us as humans because when we consume the animals that have been consuming said plastic.
Although this is a fact, plastic is how we package most of our food. Without plastic, we would be subject to a lot of foodborne illness due to the lack of preservation, as food is shipped around the world.
Plastic is used a lot in our day to day life where we may not even think about it, for example, in our clothing, to protect our food, to build our cars just to name a few.
According to ABC news, plastic is not harming the planet but the way we are choosing to use it is what is causing the problem "The reason that we have plastic leaking out of landfills and into the sea is because there's collusion between packaging manufacturers and consumers to use single-use plastic because it makes the bottom line better for producers and makes products cheaper for consumers."

Getting rid of plastic as a whole is a little absurd, what we need to focus on is using it properly. Along with using it properly, we should focus on the overuse of plastic for unnecessary reasons as well as put the focus on recycling the plastic we use.
We should focus on eliminating the use of single-use plastic. According to ABC News, it is up to the plastic producers to create a plastic that could be used more.
It is also up to us to ensure that we are trying to help by recycling the plastic we have in our own homes. for example, maybe using that plastic bag a few more times. So plastic is not all that bad, we just need to use it better.
