Bin Liners

In Room 5 we have been learning how to write to persuade. We had to persuade our principal how we do not need plastic bin liners. We had to write three reasons and we had to have three paragraphs.

Dear Mrs Wallace,

At Awahono School we have a problem because we are using too much plastic bags as bin liners in the classrooms. There are three good reasons why I believe that bin liners should be be ban  

 

 Firstly, in a day we use 10 bags in each classrooms, in a week we use 50, in a term we use 500, in a year we use 2,000 plastic bags. This is how much we use and it is too much.

Secondly, without plastic bags in our class rubbish bins we are saving money and also saving the animals in the sea from  eating plastic and dieing from the plastic.

Thirdly, I strongly believe that we should ban plastic bags because all that we put in our rubbish bins is dry paper and not wet rubbish.

Finally, all the plastic goes in a big dump called a landfill then in the winter when it rains the landfill gets washed away and ends up in the sea to make the sea animals die.

In conclusion, I think we need to stop using plastic bags as bin liners in the classrooms because it is killing sea animals and making a bigger and bigger problem everyday. We only need to keep the wet bin liners that we need for the chickens food, only two a day.

Yours sincerely,

 Haylee
