Dear Sir,

This

is Dilpreet, a student of environmental studies at Okanagan college. I am writing to express my willingness to be a part of your team in regard to taking initiatives to benefit the environment. I had been thinking lately to organise a campaign to encourage people to use biodegradable materials which will be advantageous to society. Let me explain my point, first of all, I would try to raise awareness by defining how dangerous non-biodegradable products are, and how can we replace these with biodegradable ones as most of the community is deprived of

this

information. To illustrate, suggesting alternatives

such

as wood

instead

of plastic can lead to a reduction of using

such

products.

Additionally

, More support can be gathered by taking resort to media to spread the word to the entire nation as it would not be as effective,

however

, smaller steps can result in gaining massive success. So, why not start now? I hope you will consider my proposal and thank you in advance, Yours faithfully, Dilpreet
