【范文】

Dear editor(s),

I am writing this letter to draw your attention to "White Pollution". Our country has officially enacted the law of plastic bag restriction, but it is observed in vain in several places, thus resulting in the continuation of "White Pollution".

To address this problem, I would like to make some conducive recommendations. On the one hand, the authorities should set up rules and regulations to control the production and circulation of the plastic bags. On the other hand, people should realize the significance of protecting our environment and not use too many plastic bags.

I sincerely hope you will find these proposals useful. Your prompt attention to my recommendations will be highly appreciated.

Sincerely yours,

Li Ming

亲爱的编辑：

我写这封信是为了引起你们对“白色污染”的注意。我国已经正式颁布了限制塑料袋的法律，但在很多地方都是徒劳的，从而导致了“白色污染”仍然存在。

为了解决这个问题，我想提出一些有益的建议。一方面，当局应该制定规章制度来控制塑料袋的生产和流通。另一方面，人们应该认识到保护环境的重要性，不再使用太多塑料袋。

我真诚地希望您能发现这些建议有用。非常感谢您对我的建议给予及时​的​关注。

谨致问候，

李明
