You have discovered a lot of rubbish in a lake near where you live. In the past, the lake had always been clean. Write a letter to the local council. In the letter,

Describe the type of rubbish that you saw in the lake

Explain where you think the waste has come from

Suggest what the council should do about the problem.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to seek your attention towards the increasing levels of pollution of the Sanford Lake, near to which I live.

I have been living in 15A street, which is just north of the lake for the past 20 years, and I have never seen this much litter during my stay here. A lot of plastic wastes including bottles and carry bags are seen floating on the surface of the water and is getting stagnated towards our end.

The temporary camp at the west end of the lake, which started a week ago is to be blamed for this. It is evident that the camp-attendees are throwing the litter directly into the lake, and the scene is too annoying.

I would suggest you to re-locate the camp elsewhere, as the camp ends only after a couple of months. Another option is to penalize them if they repeat this. It would be also appreciated if you could make necessary steps to clean the lake, so that it should regain its serenity.

I look forward to hearing from you a positive reply.

Yours faithfully,

Lionel
