Persuasive Letter
Imagine that you are a Hindu citizen living in South Asia. As you have learned in class, the Ganges River is important to Hindu traditions, but it is heavily polluted. Write a letter to the current Prime Minister persuading him to consider investing in cleaning the Ganges River for citizens. Include statistics about the harmful effects of the pollution in the Ganges as well as the sources causing pollution in the river. Be sure to address the Prime Minister of India as we have learned in class. The letter should include at least three realistic methods for mass clean up of the river. The letter should have a minimum of three to four paragraphs with 5-7 sentences in each paragraph.

Dear Prime Minister Modi,
I am writing to express my concern about the alarming levels of pollution in the sacred Ganges River. As a proud Hindu citizen living in South Asia, I know how important the Ganges River is to our traditions and culture. However, the pollution in the river is threatening not only our environment but also the health and well-being of millions of people who rely on the Ganges for their daily needs.
The harmful effects of the pollution in the Ganges River are devastating. According to recent studies, the pollution in the river has led to an increase in waterborne diseases, loss of aquatic biodiversity, and contaminated drinking water for millions of people living along its banks. The main sources of pollution in the Ganges River include industrial waste, sewage discharge, agricultural runoff, and religious offerings.
I urge you, Prime Minister Modi, to consider investing in the cleaning of the Ganges River for the benefit of all citizens. Here are three realistic methods for mass clean up of the river that could be implemented:
1. Implement strict regulations on industrial waste discharge to prevent further pollution of the Ganges River.
2. Improve sewage treatment facilities in towns and cities along the Ganges to reduce the amount of untreated sewage flowing into the river.
3. Educate the public on the importance of keeping the Ganges clean and promote community clean-up initiatives to involve citizens in the conservation of the river.
In conclusion, the Ganges River is not only a source of spiritual significance for Hindus but also a lifeline for millions of people in South Asia. It is crucial that urgent action is taken to address the pollution in the river and ensure a clean and healthy environment for current and future generations. I hope that you will consider my plea and take action to protect the Ganges River for the benefit of all citizens.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
Yours sincerely,
