A campaign to ban plastic tat from children’s comics and magazines.
As the saying goes, the pen is mightier than the sword. Join this educational and environmental letter writing campaign to eliminate unnecessary plastic from children’s comics and magazines.
This is where pupil power meets pen power!
Write a Wrong is an educational letter writing campaign that aims to:
oh and, importantly…
Skye explains why writing a letter is important, and what difference it could make.
Getting involved is important because…
In 2021 Tesco were very close to following Waitrose’s lead and banning comics with plastic tat. But they never went ahead with the ban.
We hope, with a bit of encouragement from children, young people and adults, we can persuade them to go ahead with the ban.
If Tesco make the ban, then other large supermarkets will hopefully follow.
For more impact: get a whole class (or school) to send individual letters!
Oh, and don’t forget to sign the petition, too.
Use these resources to help teach/ learn the skills associated with effective persuasive letter writing.
