Dear Mr. President
Hi, My name is Matt Derzay, I am 12 years old, and I am in 7th grade. I live in Pewaukee, Wisconsin. I just want to talk about maybe a more efficient energy. It’s a way that could help our country. Also it could make life a little more worry-free.
Things that lots people worry about are the bills and usually the biggest bill is the light bill, since now so many things use electricity these days. I think a good way to go is for everyone to get solar shingles. Yes, it will cost a lot, but then people won’t have worry about a light bill. Also people that live in places with more severe weather, like hail, a large impenetrable piece of glass would cover the shingles, so they don’t get smashed, but clear so the light can still get through.
When you think of it, it seems like it would cause a lot of people that work at electric company to lose their jobs, but who says they can’t switch over to be a solar powered electric company. They could sell the solar shingles and the glass that protects is and if anyone wants it they could have back-up service if they want, just in case.
Also something everyone can carry around is extra batteries. I am not talking about just the regular types of batteries, but we could make some that were all the same so every handheld device would take these kinds of batteries and you just charge them, instead of keep having to buy new batteries over and over again.
That could help with all the wiring and batteries. It could make the country a cleaner, more eco-friendly place. It may lose some jobs, but it could create a lot more. It could eliminate the light bill and make life a little more worry-free.
Sincerely, Matt Derzay
I like the letter and it is very convincing. The explaining was very well and so was the ideas. Overall, it was a letter and a content essay at the same time.
