Dear,Mayor Neil Driscoll
Hi! My name is Mandy and I attend Drayton Heights Public School, and there is something that I think we should fix in Mapleton. I think that we should decrease the amount of plastic bags being given out at public places. My idea would be that everyone would bring their own reusable bags when ever they know that they will need a bag. I think they should do that because plastic bags take about 1000 years to decompose and it creates more garbage when using plastic bags. Plus some people throw them out after one use of the bag and, if they use reusable bags they won’t want to throw them out! About 1 million plastic bags are used every minute in the world if we start using reusable bags not as many plastic bags will be used. Also if people buy something heavy and they put it in a plastic bag the bag can break. I think it would help our community if we start using reusable bags. If someone forgot a reusable bag and need one they could pay $0.25 to get a bag. This is so that they will be encouraged to bring reusable bags. That is my idea about decreasing the amount of plastic bags .
