Dear governor,
I am the chairman of the Farmer's Co-operative in Jiangsu and I have received numerous complaints about farm land being re-forested. I agree that re-foresting is a good idea and would benefit the environment. But there are a few pros and cons. Re-foresting is good at it helps to grow more trees and can fight off global warming. On the other hand, by re-foresting farmland, farmers have less land to cultivate food to feed the people of your country. In so, they would also face a drop in their income. This drop in income would indirectly affect everyone including you. Their reduced income would also mean that you would collect lesser tax. With lesser tax income, you may not be able to support the projects that are currently in progress. This includes the re-foresting project.
The crops grown on the farm also emit oxygen and take in carbon dioxide just as well as forest plants. So, allowing the farmers to keep he farmland is also as good as re-forestation. I hope that after you hear this speech, you would change your mind and stop re-foresting farmland.
Thank you for your kind attention.
Bryan Lye,
Chairman of Farmer’s Co-operative in Jiangsu

I like the way you write your speech. You also give good and detailed examples of how re- foresting will affect the environment in both good and bad ways. You also give the after effects of reforestation in details which will allow the reader to know what is happening. keep up the good work
