Archived Letter – 1211

Hello My name is Grace Ashdown I am a grade 6 student at John Black Public School. Lately I have been interested in littering and I want to inform you that it needs to stop.
Littering, it’s happening all around us….
Littering is becoming a very serious situation. Its ruining habitats and hurting animals, people probably don’t realize but littering can also affect us. What I mean by this is we are breathing in all the waste and some of that could have chemicals or bad bacterias. Also when waste gets into the water it will spread and go all over the world, we not only swim in water we also drink it. Imagine if some of that water got into our pipes! Then we drink it, and I don’t think drinking bad bacteria is very healthy! Finally it is affecting animals the most. It has killed thousands of animals and it is destroying habitats.
What I don’t understand about littering is, Why? Why do we do it, how is it benefiting us? Why can’t we just take a few more seconds to throw your garbage out/recycle it? We are putting our world in jeopardy! Are world could be so much different so make a change! Stand up for our community our country and our world. I hope that after this letter people will think twice about throwing their garbage out the car window. STOP LITTERING!
