Persuasive letter

At the moment in room five we have been learning  how to write a persuasive piece of writing  and about plastic. So, one day we looked around the classroom and saw that we had some plastic bin liners. We then  thought we shouldn't be having plastic bin liners because we are writing to encourage people to stop plastic and we even have some in our class.  We then decided to write a letter to Mrs Wallace the principal about the plastic  bin liners. So this is my persuasive  letter about why we shouldn't have plastic bin liners.

Dear Mrs Wallace,

 I have to inform you about the plastic bin liners problem that is happening around the school because we are having to use two thousand a year. Isn’t that a lot of plastic bin liners? I strongly believe we should not be using plastic bin liners So here are my three good reasons why we shouldn’t be using them.

Firstly, I strongly believe we should not be using plastic bin liners because we are throwing them out every day so that is just some money washed down the drain that could be used for more valuable things in the school. For example we are using ten plastic bags a day, then we are using fifty bags a week, then in a term we are buying five hundred! If you were to add that all up together it would be two thousand a year! We could be doing it some other way, couldn’t we? We are going through a lot of money.

Secondly, I firmly believe we should not be using plastic bin liners because we are polluting the environment by throwing them out just after we use them. When we are finished with using our plastic bin liners we put them in another plastic bag, which might just end up in the landfill. It will be polluting the environment because it won’t break down and go into the ground, so it will just stay there for thousands of years.

Finally, I believe that if we do use plastic bin liners it will just be a waste of resources. All we put in them is dry rubbish like paper and fabric materials that we use in class which won’t stain the bin and make the bin smelly. For example, our bin in room five has only had dry rubbish put in it and nothing else because we don’t want our class to have a bad smell. So we don’t even need a plastic bin liner.

 In conclusion, this is why we don’t need plastic bags in our school because we are wasting money and are using too many each year. They are polluting the environment and we only put dry materials in them. So this is why we don’t need plastic bin liners in our school and hopefully we will never need them again.
 Yours sincerely,

 Tahlia
