People should not dump their waste into the landfill

WALT use linking phrases between paragraphs to support the development of the text.

My next learning step is to speed up my work because I only had one paragraph and the rest of the group finished their draft and had a lesson on linking phrases between paragraphs to support the development of the text. so I missed out on the learning.

 Waste, waste, waste, it's all just waste and rubbish. Just throw it in the landfill. Do you agree or disagree that people should not dump their rubbish in the landfill? Well, I agree that people should not dump their rubbish into the landfill. I will try my best to persuade you and explain why people should not dump their rubbish into the landfill.

My first reason why I think that people should not dump their rubbish into the landfill is that it’s causing pollution to the environment which is not good for our environment. It might also be hazardous.           

My second reason is that all the hazardous stuff in the landfill like batteries and computers affects the environment and people. Plus about two thirds of landfilled waste is biodegradable. Added to this leachate is toxic liquid that leaks from landfills and gets into the water system. Also if it gets into the water system people will drink it and get poisoned and die. How disastrous will that be?

My third reason why people should not dump their rubbish into the landfill is that all the biodegradable things in there rots and decomposes  producing harmful gases like carbon dioxide and methane. Adding to global warming.

In summary I think that people should not dump their rubbish into the landfill because it’s just harming the environment.
