Don’t use Plastic Bags

They’re flimsy and wasteful

They tear and they break

You use it for a minute

But you’ve made a big mistake

Don’t use plastic bags!

They harm the environment

They help melt the Poles

They’re a contributing factor

To the ozone’s big holes.

Don’t use plastic bags!

They fill up the sea,

Clog up fishes’ throats,

Wash up on the beaches,

Tangle around boats.

Don’t use plastic bags!

They outlive us all

By hundreds of years

Killing our wild life and

Suffocating Royal deer*

Don’t use plastic bags!

By Ethan Horsfall (Age 9)

*Richmond Park deer and the whale stranded in the Thames have all been found to have plastic bags in their stomachs.
