I was delighted to read letters in the Fiji Times from students at the school in Pacific Harbour about their concern for the environment. Very good. And then, they have given their submission to the groupof people appointed to make up a new Fiji Constitution. A better submission than some.

The environment also needs to be taken care of.
This was a concern raised by students of a multi-cultural school
in Pacific Harbor while giving in their submissions to the constitution
commission in Navua yesterday.
Commissioner Dr Satendra Nandan said out of all the submissions
received this was the most interesting one as the students had done a lot of
research on their submission and were concerned for their surroundings.
Also people of Navua made their submissions on ensuring
transparency of government funding and freedom of information for everyone.
The public consultations will resume from Tuesday at Koro
Island.

Respect
your environment
Save
the planet
MY name is Anaseini Bovoro and
I am a Class Five student at Pacific Harbour Multi-Cultural School. Students of
PHMCS are trying their best to clean the beaches, but we still find rubbish on
them.
We are polluting the sea with
plastic bags and rubbish. We know that turtles and other marine creatures think
they are food. We have to save our mother earth by not polluting it with a lot
of rubbish in the sea. I am disappointed how people are not respecting their
environment.
It's time now, we need to use
bio-degradable bags, to change our world and to and to help Fiji to have
pollution-free land and sea. Please visit these websites www.biobga.com.au or
www.eco-pal.co.nz. It is time Fiji only uses bio-degradable landfill plastic
bags. Vinaka.

Say no
to plastics
MY name is Natalie Simpson. I
am a Class Eight student and a prefect of Pacific Harbour Multi-Cultural
School.
Whenever I go to town or to the
beach with my parents or with my friends I always see plastic bags and juice
bottles everywhere I go and it makes me upset and disappointed because it
spoils our environment and it kills our sea creatures and that's bad.
Even the students and teachers
are telling me how upset they are with the plastic pollution and I agree to
that. They are telling the truth and it doesn't help us to save our
environment. We must say no to all plastic bags that are not bio-degradable.
If you are willing to save our
environment please get bio-degradable bags because they do not harm our
environment. Bio bags vanish easily that's why I like them. Please get bio bags
and go to 1. www.biobag.com.au or 2. www.eco-pal.co.nz. I hope you change your
mind! Please reply to me. Vinaka.

Save our
turtles
MY name is Kasa Saubulinayau. I
am the head boy of Pacific Harbour Multi-Cultural School which is located in
Pacific Harbour, Deuba. My fellow students and I are disgusted and concerned
about the use of plastic bags here in Fiji. You may think that plastic bags
don't affect us and the environment. It has a huge effect to the environment,
the land and the sea.
Plastic bags are affecting the
land by its dirty look and pollution, as well as the same in the sea. Plastics
are much more dangerous to the sea because it is possible for plastic bags to
also kill sea creatures.
For example, a turtle may be
mistaken by a plastic bag being a jelly fish. If a turtle eats a plastic bag,
there is a possibility that the turtle may choke and die.
Our country (Fiji) should be
ashamed for we care less about the environment. Other countries like the Cook
Islands and the Solomon Islands care more about the environment by using
bio-degradable plastic bags which do not affect the environment. We should also
care about the environment for it provides us with our needs or resources.
Let's help our environment and use bio-degradable plastic bags. Some websites
of where you can get bio-degradable plastic bags are: www.biobag.com.au or 2)
www.eco-pal.co.nz.
Let's save and help our
environment and use bio-degradable plastic bags.

Stop
pollution
MY name is Ethan Vailasi and
I'm a Class Seven student of Pacific Harbour Multi-Cultural School. My school
and I are really worried about the use of plastic bags in Fiji. The way people
in Fiji use plastic bags is so disgusting because they throw their plastic bags
everywhere and sometimes the bags end up in the sea.
This affects the sea creatures
like turtles they are mistaken by eating plastic bags and they think it is
jelly fish. And when turtles eat it they can choke themselves and die.
Some suggestions on how we can
stop these dangers from happening is by using bio-degradable plastic bags.
These are some addresses on how to get bio-degradable plastic bags are:
www.biobag.com.au or www.eco-pal.co.nz.

Rise
above plastics
I AM prefect at Pacific Harbour
Multi Cultural School and I am writing to you about the plastic bags pollution
in Fiji. We are so fortunate to live in such a beautiful island, but we are not
taking care of it properly.
It is amazing how its so dirty
with plastic bags of different colours and sizes all over the beaches, in
towns, along the highways, streets and rivers.
There is a solution to
everything and here is one for the plastic bags. I'm introducing to you these
bio-degradable plastic bags.
Other countries in the world
are using bio-degradable plastic bags to save our environment. We in Fiji
should use them too.
The address were to get this
bio-degradable bags from is: 1)www.biobag.com.au or 2) www.eco-pal.co.nz
You can get some from New
Zealand and Australia.
Please get them and save Fiji.

Stop
littering
I AM a prefect of PHMCS, my
name is Hannah Harness and I've lived in Fiji all my life.
I am worried about our country
and the pollution problem. I am writing this letter to you because I wish to
complain about the rubbish on the beaches and I have an idea how to solve this
problem.
I would like to stop the
littering problem because the plastic bags are floating in the sea and fish,
turtles and other sea creatures are thinking they are food so they eat them and
die.
This means less food for us. I
suggest you get land fill de-gradable plastic bags from these websites
www.biobag.com.au or www.eco-pal.co.nz and put more rubbish bins on the beaches
and levy appropriate fines.
Thank you, I hope you help us
make a change and save our earth.

Time to
act is now
MY name is Christina Naugavule,
the head girl of Pacific Habour Multi-Cultural School.
My school is located near the
beach and beside our school we have a tropical rainforest which we are trying
our best to preserve.
Pacific Harbour Multi Cultural
students are the best examples of environment workers or the environment
forces.
We have been trying our best to
clean and look after our beach, but still our help isn't enough to save our
country's pollution to the environment.
Our head teacher and also
environmental studies teacher has just returned from her trip to the Cook
Islands.
She told us about the
environment in the Cooks. Cook Islanders are using bio-degradable plastic bags
and aren't allowed to use any other ordinary plastic bags.
If you want to help save the
environment like us Pacific Harbour Multi-Cultural students, we suggest that
Fiji should also use bio-degradable plastic bags.
To find out where to get these
bio-degradable plastic bags, you should look it up on this websites:
www.biobag.com.au or www.eco-pal.co.nz
Please, we need your help to
save our Fiji environment and by doing this you're not only helping the Fiji
environment but the world too.
