Just once could humans mass produce something that isn't going to pollute the environment?

Feel free to let me know if there is something that humans mass produce that doesn't pollute the environment. Because I've got nothing.

=====
Sort of in a mood when I made this, as my country enters lockdown for the first time. It's a bit surreal to see this actually occur here, after watching this unfold in other countries and to read and hear about all the difficulties many have had with adapting to these measures, especially in harder hit countries where their government and health systems have failed or collapsed. I can only hope it doesn't devolve into that here, and we'll emerge out of this mostly unscathed.

Please do wear your mask, or switch to an effective and reusable one, but also do what you can to dispose of used masks properly. It's bad enough to see these things being casually discarded like every single-use items such cigarettes, plastic bags & bottles, and straws.

One of the advices I've seen was to cut the straps before disposing them. This way they don't clog up the machinery at waste management facilities or (if they do end up in the environment) get caught on stuff like the necks and limbs of animals.

Just as we all have to do our little part in overcoming this pandemic, we also have to do our part to mitigate damage to the environment.
