This is my 6th day of my 30 days challenge.
Today I want to write about the topic that my English teacher gave to me in her class.
It is "All single use plastics should be banned. Do you agree or disagree?".
I agree with the suggestion because plastic is bad for the environment.
I knew using plastic is bad for the environment, but I actually didn't know the reason why it is that bad.
So, I read some reports which took up the topic about plastic problems to lean the fact.
According to the report, in 2019, the production and incineration of plastic materials will create over 850 million tons of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. If we use plastic products as we use them in daily life now, by 2100 it will emit 260 billion tons of CO2.
As you know a large amount of CO2 will speed up climate change, which will cause climate change related problems to earth, such as, crazy weather, problems growing food, and other bad effects.
Also I heard plastic garbages have polluted ocean and killed many kinds of animals.
I know plastic products are cheap and easy to use, especially for kids.
But I think most of all plastic products are replaceable by other materials. For example, paper straws, ecobags and so on.
So I support this suggestion.
Thank you for reading all to the end.
Please feel free to leave your comments and correct my wrong English:)

I knew using plastic is bad for the environment, but I actually didn't know the reasons behind it.
So, I've read some reports which took up the topic about plastic problems to learn the facts.

Very good!
One note: when you see the effects of some action, try to use present perfect. "I've read an article" suggests that what you have read has actually influenced you in some way and now you're experiencing the effects of it(in that case,knowledge). "I read" (past simple) simply states the action of reading was performed. :)

I do agree that plastic is really bad for the environment, but before I get to this conclusion, I decided to do research to actually find out why it is that bad. Thus, I read some reports which took up the topic of plastic problems to lean the fact. According to the report made in 2019, the production and incineration of plastic materials created over 850 million tons of carbon dioxide and so other greenhouse gases and if people keep using plastic products as they usually do on their daily basis, by 2100 it can emit 260 billion tons of gases.
As you should know, a large amount of CO2 can speed up climate change which can cause climate change-related problems to earth, such as, crazy weather, problems on growing food, and etc.
In conclusion, plastic garbages has been causing problems that polluted the ocean and killed many sea creatures and this is very worrying. But the point is that these products are really cheap and easy to use and most of them can be replaced by other kinds of materials like paper straws and eco-bags, for example, but not all the companies manufacture it because these products can cost lots of money and actually it does not seem to be a profit to them at all and they can't change it over the night. Also, I think that it will take time for the people to get acculturated to using less bad plastic and using the new model like the paper straws I mentioned above, however, I do support this change in order to save the earth and to pave our future.
*** I made it fast and easy to read, however, I made a few adjustments to sound more formal and also to sound more like a native. Hope it helps. ***

Its a great essay, well done. You could try using the passive voice to make it look more professional as well as some more comparatives like....on one hand and on the other hand etc.
