Hi Alicia,

I am writing to this local newspaper to express my opinion about that huge amount of plastic waste in our community.The last two years, I have been reduce my consume by using plastic at home,however, I had been checking bins around the city, pay attention on people behavior, and I realized a big wast of plastic. I would like to know if the local newspaper can help me if this, giving some ideas to reduce plastic waste. I suggest starting talk with the small business, to substitue cups, per paper cups, delivery plastic contanier per paper box and show to them the importance to eliminate plastic from the environment, also this actions will help them to save money, because paper is more cheaper than plastic. The next step can be orientation the population in general, expose graphs where shows the big impact the plastic have in the nature.Thank you for your time,
