Summer Learning Journey Week.2 Day.1 Task.3

Activity 3: Dear Jacinda Ardern

Dear Jacinda Ardern

In my personal opinion, I think New Zealand shouldn’t send rubbish overseas and they should. I am going to give you 3 reasons why.

Firstly, When NZ sends rubbish overseas they burn it, this is bad because the pollution from the air will suffocate the citizens in the nearby cities. For example in this video citizens talk about how it pollutes the city and gives children diseases that they never had like asthma.

Secondly, the rubbish sometimes gets chucked in the sea and harm the sea life around it. For example like in this video it harms this turtle with a straw in his nose and the people have to try and get it out of the nose.

Thirdly, it is good because they make good stuff out of it like the Adidas shoes. For example in this video it shows how Adidas makes good shoes.

So, in conclusion, hope I have convinced on why we should not let NZ send rubbish overseas.

Yours Sincerely Gammado

  1. Hello Gamado,
    I am back on your blog to see some other fantastic blog posts you have done. I really like how you wrote an letter to Jacinda Ardern about such a big problem. I also like how you gave us some reasons and researched more facts. In some places in New Zealand they banned plastic bags. Some of them still have them, but they are recyclable. I use the reusable bags. Maybe next time you could add a little blurb about the activity. Overall, this is a phenomenal blog post! Keep up the astonishing work!

  2. Namaste Gamado,

    I’ve just read your letter to Jacinda and I think it’s great! I how you’ve presented it in letter format and its unique and creative how you’ve added links to videos - what a great idea! I can tell you feel strongly about NZ stopping sending waste overseas, I totally agree - it’s our issue and we shouldn’t be sending it to other countries to deal with. I think it's really important that our government focuses on this pressing issue.

    Have you seen this article? You might find it interesting as it is related https://www.stuff.co.nz/environment/112938035/malaysia-has-started-sending-plastic-waste-back-to-developed-countries?rm=m

    Have a groovy day, and you never know...Jacinda may come across your blog!
    Eliza :)
