If you could un-invent something, meaning that it would disappear from the surface of the earth, and nobody would ever remember it, what would you choose?
One of the first things that come to mind is cigarettes or at least the modern ones that were no longer just tobacco. I think this is a product that has probably affected every individual in some way.
I think plastic would be wonderful to be rid of!

I have so many ideas of how to use what is already there and then if we stop making it we can clean up the world. Its just a matter of having enough people willing to do the work. One of my ideas is to get all the plastic bottles and fill them with sand to build homes. I am sure it would be much better than some of the homes people must make out of fabric or other thin materials. They can be tiny homes or just shelters but you could almost crisscross them like Lincoln Logs so you don’t even need mortar. After its built you could stuff clay or mud into the spaces to make it stronger.

That is a great idea, and if I’m not wrong, there are parts of the planet which are doing exactly that! It is a great insulator and cheap as it’s all recyclable!

I know there are people out there building with the bottles but I don’t know where and how much. I mean even if the bottles were filled with crap off the beaches. I don’t recall the country but it was off the Pacific and every single beach, every single day, is just garbage, tons of garbage! I found it when I was looking for information about the Great Garbage Patch. Have you seen that?

I have seen the info on it. It’s shocking there is so much pollution in our ocean. Sadly, almost half of it is from the fishing industry. It’s disgraceful.

Yes, it is so awful but that is why I wonder why people don’t go and find ways to use the waste to build with or something. I would love to have a job like that!

Oh, I think many do but there are some companies that don’t seem to care. It’s sad.

I am admitting this but…I think my ideas of Elon Musk should go back to being a cologne. That’s what I thought Elon Musk was!
