Persuasive Letter

In room 5 we had to write a letter to our principal to not use as many plastic  bags in our  bins. There are  three main paragraphs and the words that start the paragraphs are  firstly, secondly and finally.

 Dear Mrs Wallace,
 At Awahono School we use plastic bin liners, and we don’t need to use them in our bins we could use them only in the chicken bins and in the green bins. I believe that we don't need plastic bin liners. Here are three good reason why I think that we should not use plastic bin liners in most of our bins. 

 Firstly, we use a lot of bags in a in a year, about 2000 a year. We would save money if we didn’t use so much. If we use three a day for the wet food scraps we won't use as much money and we can use the money to buy the things that the school needs. We use 10 bags a day, 50 bags a week, 500 a term about 2000 a year. That is a lot of plastic to go through. 

 Secondly, plastic is pollution. After we’ve throw them away they end up in landfill and they might end up in the ocean. Then a little fish might eat it then a big fish might eat that little fish and then a bigger fish might eat it and then we might eat that bigger fish and we could die. That would not be good at all. So we should be using less plastic bags. 

Finally, we don't need the plastic bags in most of the bins because we only put dry rubbish in the classroom bins. We could use plastic bags in the chicken and the green bins only. 

In conclusion, I think that we should only use three bags a day to put wet food scraps in and with the other bin liners that hold dry rubbish we don’t need to use them at all. 

Yours sincerely, 
 Chloe
