Discontinue Plastic Milk Bags in Ontario

Discontinue Plastic Milk Bags in Ontario

The Issue

I am a ten year old girl.

Milk bags are bad for the environment and I think that we should use jugs.

We should not use milk bags because they are not often reused or recycled. 

Another reason I have is that they are entirely made of plastic, and that is really bad for the environment.

Jugs are also made of plastic, but more people choose to  recycle them. Jugs can go to a bottle depot and the people who put the jugs in get some money back. Also, jugs can hold more milk in them. So people would not have to go to the store that often to buy milk.

I am writing this because I used to live in Alberta, and in Alberta they use jugs. And when we moved here, I was shocked that someone had the idea to sell milk in bags.

In conclusion, Milk bags are bad for the environment, so we should use jugs because they can be recycled.

Sincerely,

Esther Dykstra.
