Dear Chris Martin,
My name is Poppy and I am in year 7 student at Leweston school in Sherborn, Dorset. I am writing to you as I am concerned about the amount of plastic in our oceans. I knew that you are concerned about the environment because people rode bikes at one of your concerts.
There is a floating trash island in our sea, and it is called the Great Garbage Patch. I think this is really bad situation because of all the animals in our oceans its harming. I have seen pictures of turtle's being trapped by beer can plastic holders. It has made their shells go a weird shape. Turtles also get killed from ingesting plastic bags they mistake for jellyfish.
If we do not do something fast our oceans are going to be filled with trash. It is thought that 12 million metric tons of plastic washes into the ocean every year. By 2050 there is going to be more plastic than fishes.
I am hoping that you can lend your support and help persuade people to not use plastic and to help save our future environment. And help save our future that's coming.
From Poppy
