30th September, 2006. Director Department of Environment, Parks and Recreation, Ministry of Development, Bandar Seri Begawan, BB3510, Negara Brunei Darussalam. Dear Sir, Prototype of brochure for public on Food Packaging We are students of UBD currently taking PS 3404: Multidisciplinary Approach for a Sustainable Environment course and are working on our Community Problem Solving project on “Plastics and Polystyrene Food Packaging”. The aims of our project are to investigate the problems of using plastics and polystyrene as food packaging and to act on possible solutions towards the problems of using food packaging products health wise and environment wise. We have chosen as one of our action activity, to educate the public on the dangers of using plastic (polycarbonate), polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cling wrap in the hope that we can contribute towards improving Bruneians’ health and the environment. Hence, we have designed a brochure (attached) explaining all the possible consequences on using such food packaging and given alternatives for people to consider for the food packaging they use. We are pleased to send to you this prototype of our brochure in the hope that you would consider making multiple copies of these for dissemination and information to the public, if you approve of them. As you can appreciate it, we do not have funds to reproduce the pamphlets and we only have one week to work on this assignment.
We hope that the use of plastic and polystyrene products in foods and drinks can be reduced with this information to the public. We would be very thankful if you could give some indication of your response regarding the above matter. Lastly, we appreciate your cooperation in helping us to act for a better environment and healthier people in Brunei. Yours Sincerely, _______________________________ (Christina Eu Nguk Ling) E-mail:
