Sometimes little things give me hope. I got this forward today from a friend who knows this little girl:
My name is Hannah Angel, I am writing you to ask if you can help me ban plasticbags from British Columbia.
A small community in Manitoba has already banned plastic bags, so should B.C! With your help British Columbia can ban plastic bags. Plastic shopping bags cause many problems for our enviroment. One problem that is really sad is that they can kill turtles. I do not want to kill turtles (We do not want to kill animals)! The bags sit on the water and the turtles mistake themfor jellyfish. Eating the bags weakened the turtles because they are unable to digest their real food.
Plastic bags are non-biodegradable, and will be on our planet, for hundreds of years, long after our great grand children are gone. When burnt, they give off poisonous gases which can kill. Turtles are not the only animals that are harmed by plastic, other animals may choke to death when they eat them, or worse still, die painfully after eating it. One of plastic's ingredient is oil, which is non-renewable and in short supply. This can lead to the greenhouse effect and global warming. The ozone layer becomes so thin that there areholes, melting the polar ice caps and causing many problems.
If British Columbia would stop giving out plastic shopping bags then ourcommunities would be cleaner and safer for the animals and environment. Plastic Bags are one big problem, did you know that if you took all the plastic bags and tied them end to end, they would circle the earth 63 times!
I am just one 9 year old girl who no one will listen too, but together people will listen to us! You need to do the right thing and help us save British Columbia, Canada, no, the world! Please save the world and ban plastic bags. Please sign your name and address below (only if you are from British Columbia) and when you are the 100th signature please send this email back to me at: markandheather@shaw.ca
Once you hit forward (to send to all your friends) you will be able to add your name and address. I will print it out and when I get enough I will take it to my MLA. Also please say no to plastic shopping bags! Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Hannah Angel
