Should We Ban Plastic Bags ?

To: Prime Minister John Key

I am writing this letter because plastic bags should be banned in New Zealand. The reason why we want to ban it from our country is because it’s killing our sea lives and killing our birds. Also some people from other countries think our country is messy because when they drive around New Zealand, it has plastic bags on the side of the road.

Banning plastic bags is probably a good thing to do. Also we can have more sea animals and birds in our beautiful country. People always throw their plastic bags away after their shopping and it flies away to our ocean. That’s how other fishes die because they think that plastic bags is food and they eat it then they die. So please this might be a good thing to do.

IF we ban plastic bags from New Zealand our environment would be more cleaner and tidier. It will also make our sea lives and birds more healthier. We can bring our own paper bags to put our shopping in or load it in the car yourself. When our country is tidy more people from overseas would love to come and visit New Zealand. We are killing our mother nature, please stop the nonsense and use recycle paper bags instead of plastic bags.

That is why I think we should ban plastic bags in New Zealand. If you agree with this situation it would be good, because we can keep our environment a green tidy place people always think of when they come to Aotearoa.
