Dear Auckland Council,

My name is Atareita and I am a year 7 student at Pt England School. I am writing to you about the issue of pollution in our water system. Many people agree that pollution has become a huge problem in Auckland, more like the world, because people from different locations have been throwing their trash into our lakes, rivers and oceans. It is very bad for the creatures in our waters because, if rubbish keeps on getting thrown away in the waters, then the creatures living in it will think that it is food and eat it. But, if they eat it then they will die because it gets stuck in their stomachs and they are not able to get it out of them.

Secondly, I believe that you should make punishments for people who litter.  You could make a law where if someone spotted a person littering, then you get an immediate fine. Maybe about $100. Or to stop people from throwing garbage down the drains, you could set up something that stops garbage from going through the drains and into the ocean.

If someone doesn’t do anything about this problem, then it is going to become more worse and the creatures living in our waters will end up eating the garbage thinking that it’s food and get sick, but eventually die. Furthermore, later on we will be infected, then we will get sick and eventually die afterwards. And then sooner or later, every living thing will die from not having enough available fresh water for us to keep hydrated/healthy. So, that is why you need to do something about the world’s number one problem. POLLUTION!!

Kind Regards,

Atareita
