Dear Prime Minister John Key,

Talofa Lava my name is Makayla. I am sending this letter to you to write about the problem of pollution and plastic waste. Did you know a NZ bird, Black petrel approached shore sick. Someone was generous enough to take it to the marine hospital and it died a few moments after because it had eaten a dark blue milk bottle cap. So I stand up for our birds that are sick and dying out in our seas.

You need to let more people know that they shouldn’t be throwing their plastic waste through the drain, because it reaches to the sea and it makes our sea look untidy. That means it would affect our seabirds, and that makes them get very sick and die because of plastic waste.

Therefore I think that you need to make a law statement explaining like I said that they need to stop dropping their plastic waste into the water drains. If they don’t listen to this law then they might have to be fined for littering their rubbish through the drains. Or you can put more people out in public to clean the drains because the drains are full. If you don’t do this then all of our native birds will die because of plastic waste.

Yours sincerely,

Makayla

Task Description: First we watched a few video's about plastic waste and it going to the sea and talk about it. Then we had to write a practise letter to John Key but we are arguing. then we had to post it on our blog.
