Food Scraps

Food scraps need to be used!

Dear Mr.Gifkins

Parkvale wastes way too much food scraps when we can use them for heaps of different uses that will help the school. Half of our food scraps go to waste and could be used or eaten. If we recycle our food scraps it could make the world a better place.


Firstly, money is wasted when children just throw half their lunch away and don’t eat it. Half of our bin is filled with half eaten food like sandwiches, apples or even a whole nut bars. I think we need more teachers looking at children's lunch boxes so when they get to year fives and sixes they will know not to chuck out perfectly good food.


Secondly, our school does not have to pay so much for taking the rubbish to the dump if we recycle our food scraps and make things that will help save money. We could get more things for the school and for learning. You could even just let children take their rubbish home in their lunch boxes, so then their parents know what they have eaten or what not.  


Thirdly, have you seen all that food in the world that is been chucked away for example like the pacific trash vortex, hundreds of animals are killed or hurt because of that horrible place. There is a whopping amount of food that just goes to waste and it looks like we don’t even care for the world.


We need to stop this terrible deed and start making things better by recycling things. If we all help that will be great! RECYCLE

Yours sincerely,
Natasha
