Dear Waitrose,
My name is William and I am a wise old whale.
I am a curious creature who lives in the deep blue Pacific ocean.
I am writing to you because you should stop throwing dirty plastic in the sea. Would you stop using so much plastic, my fish friends are dying. Why are you throwing so much plastic if you know fish are dying?
Please stop. All my friends are dying. It’s really dangerous and not healthy for us.
It’s like you are creating a trash island.
By Lucia Rapin
