Letter+to+President-Ashf09


 * Dear Mr. President: **
 * As you know you are now the president of the United States of America; I would like to congratulate on your win. You’re probably overwhelmed with the responsibilities you’re taking on and you’re going to be pretty busy I’m sure. My whole family was hoping for a change and that’s what you’re giving us, change. I know that when president, you will make good decisions not only for you but the country. **
 * One issue has always stood out to me and that issue is the environment. The environment affects us all, animals, humans, and the land around us. This isn’t just some topic that doesn’t have to do with much or includes many people; this issue could “make or break” us if not acted upon. I think this is very important to me and to people hoping for a better environment. Problems such as global, warming, and rapid climate changes have risen. I ask that you consider these vital points, in effort to show you the importance of them. **
 * An “un-healthy” environment can be caused by a lot of things we do today; such as pollution, littering and deforesting. Oil refineries are releasing toxins into the air and can easily contaminate a substance; one oil spill could simply wipe out a species of fish in a matter of days, if spilled into water. Because of global warming, we are experiencing a rough time with hurricanes, wild fires, floods, tropical storms, and even droughts. Hurricane Katrina opened our eyes to the destruction global warming is capable of; plus the multiple fires in California. **
 * People don’t realize that we’re Earth’s biggest threat, the biggest target. Aerosols sprays, fires in your fireplaces, and littering are all small things that even I use and do. These little things pile up and up until eventually, we can’t handle them and start to destroy the ozone layer and environment. Toxins, carbon monoxide and dioxide or constantly being released into the air we breathe. Now, when I think of these things they don’t sound too healthy and I’m sure to you they don’t either right? **
 * Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I hope you will consider these valuable points and as president decide what’s best for us. Again, congratulations on the winning of the presidential election; and for making history as the first African-American president of the United States of America. **
