At least one Black Mirror suggested a dark side to this. My caveat to any solution humans try to come up with to fix problems that we created with technology is, we'll probably introduce a few new problems in doing so, and the original solution may fail at some point leaving us in even worse conditions. We have a Midas touch on things, only it's more gray goo or plasticy than gold.
