Dear Representative Carter,

Rhode Island is known as the Ocean State for a reason. A majority of the land is surrounded by the ocean and other bodies of water. As being residents of this Ocean State, the ocean is a large part of our lives. The Pollution Busters feel as if the pollution on beaches has reached a point where we can no longer put it aside. This pollution is driving citizens away from beaches and causing harm to the environment. There is time to change this around with hard work and help from our state. The Pollution Busters would like you to vote for the “Bust up Pollution” that we put forth. This will have laws against people leaving trash and other things on the beach.

.
 * Sincerely, **
 * Cody Barner **

Dear Kenneth Carter;

Over the years, the North Kingstown Town beach has become polluted and not pleasing to the eye. Recently there has been some work done to the parking lot which has caused a lot of dirt and debris spread across the recreational part of the beach, and the beach. The pollution is a problem because people go to the beach to have a good time and enjoy a pretty place. I would like to make it so that this is once again a healthy and enjoyably environment for all. The Pollution Busters of Rhode Island would like to take the time to clean the beach with the help of the North Kingstown community. I would appreciate it if you would keep in mind this task so that the community of North Kingstown can better the environment of the Town beach.

Respectfully,

Ali Chabot The Pollution Busters
