SEC-S10W1: "What one thing would you want to delete from the Earth?
Hello, my Friends. Happy to see you in season 10.
"If you had?" this is really subjective whether I have the power or will I ever get the power to do so. but this is a question I have asked myself for a long time. The hypothetical question, "If you had the power to permanently delete one thing from the Earth, what would it be?" can be addressed by my ways. If you ask me this as a general question I would say "Hunger"🍎 . Because it has been a major issue for poor people.
However, if I specially address, "What man-made thing?" without a doubt, I may have many things on my list. Let me start with neuaclear weapons. They have been used for many military practices and more disastrously tried on humanity also. The most popular incident of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in which more than 200000 people lost their lives and many had to face radiation-related illnesses. Still, there are people who are suffering from this incident.
Alright. Let me ask you a question. How much garbage do you produce daily? Surprisingly we are contributing to 2.12 billion tonnes of solid waste annually. Source By 2050 this is expected to be doubled. So hypothetically currently we need almost 2 planets of Earth to provide resources and absorb our waste. The regions like South Asia (Sri Lanka is here) and East Asia are responsible for a large portion of waste also.
Projected waste generation, by region (millions of tonnes/year) source
| How will its absence have a positive impact on society, nature, and mankind? |
|---|
The current situation is that we have gone far away without addressing this question for a long time. We have created massive piles of garbage in the sea. Mountains of garbage that slide over villages and produce tonnes of greenhouse gases. We have made life miserable for sea creatures. The garbage we dumped polluted the drinking water as well. So if we can eliminate the garbage from the Earth we can receive thousands of benefits not only as mankind but also as a species that lives on earth.

| What can we substitute for it that has the power to resist all subsequent devastation? |
|---|
There will not be any substitutes for garbage as per the question. What we will be having is a recovery time to practice good habits of garbage handling. We can start by educating ourselves and we can act as individuals. We need to introduce strict laws and international pacts should be made and countries should abide by the decisions. School education should be restructured so that kids gain knowledge and experience in proper waste management. But this is all hypothetical, so I am being optimistic that we will have a recovery time. But in reality, we do not have much time. So my suggestion to all of us is that we should start managing our garbage properly. Also please promote zero waste goods in your consumption habits. Make sure you do not throw away a single toffee wrap in an unmanaged way. Sperate your garbage so recycling becomes easy. Use biodegradable products. Use cleaner energy. Start living a life with little burden on Earth. We have only this planet. Please reduce the impacts of your habits. Act wisely. Act now.
Thank You.
Peace

Regards mate @dagonmaster, It is a pleasure to see your publication, I hope you are successful in the challenge.
The theme that proposes the elimination of nuclear weapons from the world is a good idea and if that power were in your hands it would surely be erased and eliminated all the danger that these weapons occasionally have.
Garbage has also been an element to consider because it is damaging the planet by contaminating it.
Greetings from a distance and have a good day.
Thank you very much.
De nada amigo buena suerte en tu publicación @dagonmaster, saludos!
