Students Advocate for Going Green

Dear Mayor Crawford,

Hi! Our names are Larz Luchterhand and Bryce Newberg. We are writing this to you because we saw a slide show about plastic bags. Our class learned a lot about the bags and how bad they are for the environment.
San Francisco and other cities have banned plastic bags. We also learned that if people stop using plastic bags, we could save 1,000,000,000 bags in our lifetime.
And Bryce and I think we should use battery-charged cars and windmills. I also think we should use solar-powered panels to create energy.
Manitowoc should ban plastic bags. Doing this will help the environment and make our city green.


Sincerely,
Bryce and Larz 5th graders in Mrs. Jacobson’s homeroom class at Stangel School!
