Dear Council members,
I have never been to your beautiful state, but I live in Massachusetts,which also has extensive beaches and a thriving
tourist industry. Here in New England, many tourists prefer recyclable products and towns that have banned styrofoam
have soon found it profitable as word got out. Plastic pollution makes places look unkempt and dirty. It builds up long
term and is bad for business as well as bad for the environment.As a judge for the Oceans Awareness Contest, my
colleagues and I have found that students all over the world care about this issue deeply. If you have time, please look at
their art, poems,videos and essays and consider what is best for their generation as you deliberate these issues:
