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.  Here is my writing about bin liners.

10th September 2018

Dear Mrs Wallace,

At Awahono School there is a problem, the problem is there is too much plastic bin liners. I strongly believe that we should ban plastic bin liners because all that goes in there is dry things like paper that are in the classroom. There are three good reasons why I believe that bin liners should be banned in the classroom.

Firstly, it can save a lot of money because we use 2 thousand bin liners every year. You could save more money on books or on more paper for the classrooms. I think we should ban plastic bin liners because we can save more money. .

Secondly, when the bin liners are used they go into a big pile of rubbish that is called landfill which is like a dump. In winter when it rains the landfill fills up with water and washes the plastic away into the sea and kills the animals.

Finally, we use 10 bin liners in a day and in a week 50, in a term it is 500 of them and  in a year it is 2,000. We need to stop, it is too much.

In conclusion I believe that we need to stop using bin liners in the classrooms.

Yours sincerely,

Zoe
