This was a fun little essay I wrote for my French class senior year. I’ve found out the past four years that other than writing about books, I love writing about how terrible plastic is for the environment. Which is such a depressing topic but makes for such an interesting research paper. This was fun because instead of going full ham on just never using plastic again, I consider the benefits of plastic for people with disabilities, like plastic straws, and gloves and sterile wrapping in hospitals, but also, the non-plastic alternatives that could be used on other platforms, like in the food and fashion industry, or even using vegetable bio plastics to make all these items compostable instead of just filling up landfills
