Dear Theresa May ,
Why do we need all this plastic ? It is killing all the animals ; for instans have you seen the picture of the polar bear in a net or perhaps the picture of a turtle eating a plastic bag or the dog with a plastic bottle stuck round its head or all the other photos if you haven’t I suggest you do.
I have heard that you are trying to wipe out all the single use plastic in 25 years ,I personally think that 25 years is way too long to wait and that it should be gone in 1 year because by the time it has bean 25 years,I would be 36 and lots of other people would be dead plus you don’t want their dying thought to be , “ why Theresa May why 25 years i never got to see all this happen ?!!” Did you know ,five - hundred and fifty - million plastic straws are thrown away every day in the uk ? Also five - million tons of oil produced in the world every day ends up in the ocean .
I understand that plastic is an everyday part of life but do we need it ? You do know there is a difference from need and want . How come we can’t just use paper straws or perhaps we could do what Norway do with their recycling scheme ; did you know they recycle ninety percent of their plastic .
I hope you make the right choice because ours and the future generations depend on you.
Kind regards Abbey

Hi Abbey, this is a well written letter. I like the facts that you used, especially the one about Norway and their recycling, was there some exaggeration as well? Mr Mckeown
ReplyDeleteWhat an emotive letter, Abbey! I agree that the target to reduce single use plastics should be sooner than 25 years. You have used facts to support your arguments too. I wonder though, if plastic does have some useful purposes too? For example, in the medical profession. What do you think?
