The next part of my MDC is to take action. I am taking action by contacting my local council. Below is the first draft of the E-mail that i plan to send as soon as I get it checked, get the E-mail adress.

Dear Sir or Madam

My name is Thomas Gibson and I am in year 6 at Cranbrook Junior School. This semester we have been doing a ‘make a difference’ challenge. My MDC is to keep rubbish out of Red leaf pool after rain or storms. It has come to my attention that after rain Red leaf pool becomes filled with rubbish, possibly from storm water drains. If this is the cause of the problem then my solution is to put a metal grille over the storm water drains that can be opened and shut. After the rain someone from the council can come down and collect the rubbish that the grille has kept from going into the water. If the storm water drains are not the reason for the ‘rubbish in Red leaf’ then please contact me.

Sincerely,

Thomas Gibson
