P4 have been working on a block of persuasive writing. They used litter as a topic for this work. We thought you might like to read a few!
Keep The World Clean
Do you want to eat a fish that has eaten rubbish? Well that’s what happens if you litter.
Keep a fresh, clean and tidy environment.
Firstly, every year the world produces 141,000,000 tones of litter. That is the same weight as 35,000,000 elephants. In the uk 250,000 litter is dropped a day.
That is terrible, harmful and dangerous for the environment.
Secondly, green sea turtles think that a jellyfish is a plastic bag so sometimes a turtle eats a jellyfish. In my opinion it is unfair that animals die or get injured because of the rubbish we drop.
Last of all, recycling one tonne of paper can save 70 trees. So recycle!
For these reasons, I think we can all stop littering!!
We must stop harming poor animals homes. What do you think?

Do Not Litter!
Imagine going on a walk and all you can see is litter. Would you want that?
Litter is smelly, messy and ugly.You can trip over it and hurt yourself.
Some animals mistake litter and plastic as food or a home. Then eat it and get sick or die.🥀🤧
Did you know two million pieces of litter is dropped everyday just in the U.K!
Every year 141,000,000 tones of plastic is made. That is horrible for the environment.🪺
A lot of turtles think plastic bags that have been dropped in the sea are jellyfish then the turtles eat the plastic bags and die.
This is why you should save the environment by not littering and
cutting down on plastic and overly packaged products.🥡

Keep the World Clean!
Imagine going to the beach and all you see is litter. Would you like that?
Firstly, we can harm animals by dropping litter. More than 70,000 animals are hurt by litter every year. Animals looking for food can get trapped in plastic or hurt on sharp edges.
Secondly, imagine eating a salmon, tuna or catfish that had eaten plastic. You just ate plastic! In the UK every day litter is dropped the same weight as 350,000 elephants.
These reasons show that by littering it hurts animals and people. So stop!
