Positive Impacts

• Organic farming uses natural molecules to protect crops.
• Biodegradable plastics break down more easily.

Negative Impacts

• Some pesticides and plastics persist and pollute ecosystems.
• Oil spills are large-scale organic pollution events.

By understanding organic chemistry, we can create greener solutions and reduce pollution.
