persuasive bin liners

In room 5 we had do some persuasive of writing to our principal about not using bin liners at our school. We had to include three good reasons why we think bin liners should be used for better reasons at our school

Dear Mrs Wallace, 

People think that bin liners are good for a lot of reasons, I disagree. I think at Awahono School we should get rid of some bin liners. There are three good reasons why I think some bin liners should be banned at Awahono School.

Firstly, bin liners are used for paper and plastic, that means they are dry. The only bin liners we need are for the food scraps for the chickens because the chickens need food. We need the bin liners so we  can put all the food scraps in the bin liners because we do not want to get our hands dirty. 

Secondly, did you know that we use 10 bin liners a day, 50 bin liners a week, 500 bin liners a term and 2,000 bin liners over the 4 terms a year? The bin liners use a lot of plastic and a lot of  money, and the more bin liners we use the more money we use.

Finally, bin liners use a ton of plastic bags. Bin liners  can be useful for a lot of things but at Awahono School we need them for the chickens only.

In conclusion, instead of buying so many bin liners, we could use the money on something else more important, like purchasing more chickens or having more sporting gear.

Yours sincerely,


Hunter
