How to Write to Politicians

| YOU CAN HELP New Zealand's native species and natural places
by writing to politicians. |

Politicians are the people that work in government. They spend most of their time working
in parliament buildings in Wellington (one of the buildings is known as 'The
Beehive'). Politicians are very busy people. Because they are busy, they
sometimes need to be reminded about important things in the natural world. It is up to us to remind them! |
Why we must remind
politicians about the natural world......
The natural world is the trees,
birds, oceans, atmosphere, plants, insects........ the very things which keep the
planet alive and which keep people alive - we need a healthy world to survive in. We must
look after the things in the natural world. |

How to
remind politicians about the natural world.......
Writing to politicians is the
best way to remind them about how important the natural world is.
It doesn't have to be just a boring letter, you can use lots of pictures. You might like
to use the pictures from this website - colour them in and write about what is in the
picture, or you might like to draw your own picture of something you care about.
You must write about your picture too. It is important to explain to the politicians why
people must care for the natural world. |

What are the benefits of writing to politicians.......
If we remind the politicians
about how important New Zealand's native species and natural landscapes are, they will
learn to care for them too (just like all the KCC members do!) .
Politicians working in government have the power to change New Zealand's laws. It is hoped
that when the politicians learn how important the natural world is, they will make better
laws to protect it. |
We all make a difference - let's make it a positive difference.
