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
