Dear Prime Minister,

My name is Joshua, and I am a year 5 student from Pt England School. Pollution is everywhere! I think the problem needs to be fixed because all the animals are eating it and rubbish gets into the ocean and the fish eat it. So this needs to be fixed! Otherwise all sea life will die and maybe cause a chain reaction to many animals and us!

I think you can fix it by doing many things like making an pipe filter where rubbish goes a different direction before hitting the ocean. Or we could just place more rubbish bins around places. One other thing we could do is make a fine for whoever is caught littering. There could also be an event where kids pick up rubbish around NZ and the top 3 kids with the most rubbish in their bags get a chocolate bar or maybe some money.

You should do this because otherwise humans and many other animals may die faster than expected. The ocean life is already decreasing because of this! Crops are getting harder to grow and water is getting dirtier! I heard that there is actually small islands of rubbish in the ocean! You really have to do this John Key, thousands and maybe millions of people are arguing about this! Everything is affected by this pollution and there are so many people that are just so careless that they just keep littering! Many things and people have died just because of this. And most people don’t want to get smacked in the face by a plastic bag on the beach, or trip over a plastic bottle and fall into a pile of wood. Please with a cherry on top fix this!

Yours Sincerely, Joshua.
