II. Sample of persuasive letter
Dear Mayor Opolis,
A lot of recyclable items are thrown away with the garbage and go to the Wonderopolis landfill. My neighbors say they do not like taking time to sort their recyclables into three separate bins because it takes too much time and effort, and it is easier to simply throw everything in one bin.
I would like to share some information with you about single-stream recycling. This type of recycling program allows residents to put all of their recyclables in the same container. The items are then sorted at the facility.
I have discovered that many other communities are using single-stream recycling and have found that resident recycling increases when there is no need to sort recyclables.
Please consider implementing a single-stream recycling program in Wonderopolis. This will help make the environment a little greener and even more wonderful!
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Concerned Citizen of Wonderopolis
