We are always thinking to solve some problems with some new things or something that have new use. But we always finally find out the solution becomes a bigger problem. Like we use nuclear weapons to end the world war 2. And finds out nuclear weapons has already threatened the living of all humans. Like these kinds of inside worms, no matter how they are good at eating plastic, they are still worms, and eat something else. And which means when someday plastic have all been eaten by these worms, when there are still a large amount of these worms, they will find something else to eat, maybe crops, ships, houses or even people. And to solve this problem, we need to invent something to kill these worms. and that will finally harm the whole environment. Which would be as harmful as the plastic.

We are always thinking that we can solve some problems with new things or something that has a new use. But we finally find out the solution becomes a bigger problem. Like with nuclear weapons used to end world war 2. Then we found out nuclear weapons have already threatened the existence of humanity. Like these kinds of worms, no matter how they are good at eating plastic, they are still worms, and will eventually eat something else. Which means someday plastic will have all been eaten by these worms. When there are still a large amount of these worms leftover, they will find something else to eat, maybe crops, ships, houses or even people. Then to solve this problem, we need to invent something to kill these worms. And that will finally harm the whole environment. Which would be as harmful as the plastic was originally.
