Environment is the future

Dear Prime Minister,

The world works by having and spending money. You can’t spend money if there is no world to spend it in. Currently the UK produces more than 100 million tonnes of waste every year. Introducing environmental rules that businesses have to abide by could help reduce the amount of waste we produce as a country. Amazon send out ridiculous size boxes for the smallest of items, then the buyer throws the cardboard away. We like to think that people recycle but realistically a lot of people are lazy and just rip the cardboard up and place in bin bag. Make the companies take the boxes back and re use the boxes like we do with Ocado shopping bags. Alternatively encourage family’s to use the cardboard to build spaceships with kids or donate the cardboard to schools so they can use it for arts and crafts with the children. Forcing companies to use eco friendly materials will in long run help small businesses grow and stay in business. You can do this by making party companies sell metal straws, reusable plates and plastic cups that can be kept. This means business can have a brand of there own and charge a little more for there items, family’s don’t throw everything away at end of party and kids get something to keep. Then all businesses pay taxes that go to your government and the world becomes a eco friendly place. Everybody wins. These are small ideas compared to the bigger ideas that can change the world. Big companies should also get involved. Holiday booking companies such as Thomas cook rely on beautiful views, clean waters and fresh air to make sales. We also rely on tourism in our country to make money. London for example is a big tourist attraction you have London zoo, Buckingham palace and Houses of Parliament. People are put off going to London due to the air pollution and traffic. Animals are the last of there kind in zoos and we cant breed animals quick enough. This is heart breaking to the children and animal lovers. Animals should die naturally not because of human laziness. At what point do you say enough is enough. We wouldn’t like it if someone just knocked down our home, we wouldn’t stand for it. Animals cant protect themselves against the humans and cat express there feelings of upset at anger. Its not just about destroying there home its about littering and making there home untidy. You wouldn’t force humans to breed, lock them in a cage with a stranger and we defiantly wouldn’t let humans die out due to detrimental environmental effects. There are also many medical properties that plants have and scientific studies that are currently in progress. Eventually all this will stop because we would of killed the plants and animals. Have you ever been to see the northern lights? Do you want to see them? Do you want your children and grandchildren to see them? If you answered yes to any of theses questions then you need to act now. Light pollution will stop us seeing this fantastic view. As we speak we could be killing the cue to cancer and other none curable diseases. The pollution we produce today is not only killing the planet it’s making the people of today sick. 28,000-36,000 people die of air pollution a year in U.K. Thats already to many people. Don’t let it get out of hand before someone does something. If Britain set an example then maybe polluted places like China will follow suit. Children, adults, elderly, humans in general light up at the sight of baby animals, fierce animals, sights that take your breath away and places that take you away from all your problems and stresses. Don’t ruin this because we put it down to another day. Tomorrow is not guaranteed today is. Together we can change the world the world can’t change for us.

Thank you for your time and consideration in the matter.

Kind regards

Victoria Hall
