Dear neighbors,
We are writing this letter to you because our school has started a group. It is called “Help the Environment”. It works to look after the environment.
Here are some interesting facts that our group has learnt:
Most things that we throw away can be reused or recycled.
Some European countries, for example, Germany, already recycle half of their waste.
90% of people in our country would like to recycle more.
We think that most people would agree with these statements:
We need to recycle our waste, not use up the world’s sources.
It is better to recycle waste than to burn it in the earth or the sea.
Our environment group has decided that one of the best things we can do is to collect reusable waste. We will sell this waste to recycle companies and give the money to Friends of the Earth. We would like people living near the school to bring their recyclable waste to the school. But if you are too busy, we will collect it from you once a week.
We hope that you will agree to this. If you do, pleasesign your names below this letter.
Yours,
John Cooper
