Letter To Jacinda Ardern

Dear The Right Hon Jacinda Ardern,

                     Ban Plastic Bags

Did you know NZ is losing money because tourists don't want to visit our country because of how much pollution there is? It is my belief all plastic bags should be banned in New Zealand.

Firstly, It’s affecting our oceans and killing our precious sea animals. Rubbish such as plastic bags are going down our drains. When rubbish goes down our drains it arrives in our ocean then animals mistake it for food.

Secondly, One plastic bag uses the same amount of oil as a car 115 metres! So everytime a plastic bag is made it is using a lot of oil and oil is not sustainable.

Lastly, Plastic bags contain chemical, toxins and BPA which links to cancer this is bad because the sea life eat the rubbish and when we eat the fish we ingest the BPA. In the future there may be more rubbish then fish in our ocean.

Therefore, I strongly believe we should ban the bag to have a clean and green country.
