Ladies and gentlemen
I think it is time we tried to save our planet and one way to do this is to
bring writing slates back into our schools.
Some of you won’t even know what a writing slate is. I suggest you talk to
your grandparents because some of them used slates when they were at
school. It is now time for your children to use slates, too.
Years ago, children liked slates for a number of different reasons. If they
made a mistake it was easy to change it. Also, they didn’t need to keep
sharpening their pencils. This saved a lot of time, more trees and meant
less mess as well.

You only need to walk into any school and look around it. There is paper
everywhere. Think of all the beautiful trees that were cut down to make all
that paper.
Think about where most of the paper eventually ends up. That’s right, in
the rubbish bins at school or at home.
I know that some of you will protest and say that you recycle paper in
your schools and in your homes as well. That’s great, but it takes energy
to recycle paper and it would be much better if we didn’t use so much of
it in the first place.
So please, join me by encouraging schools to use slates again and help
us to save the planet.
