In 2025, the UPU international letter writing competition has the theme: “Imagine you are the ocean. Write a letter to someone, explaining why and how they should take good care of you and protect you.”

In English it is: “Imagine you are the ocean. Write a letter to someone explaining why and how they should take good care of you”.

Below is a sample letter writing for the 54th UPU:

Yesterday, I witnessed a story that kept me awake all night. A group of young people riding cars and motorbikes chose the beach to party. Besides food and drinks, they brought speakers and sang loudly. The party lasted until late at night. However, when they left, the trash was still there.

A corner of the beach littered with bottles, jars, plastic bags… The above image is not uncommon. Nowadays, marine pollution has become a worldwide problem. This has damaged the health and life of humans and creatures. Therefore, I would like to write a few lines to you.

Dear friend, you must have known the benefits I bring. Water covers about 3/4 of the Earth's surface, including many sources such as rivers, lakes, ponds, streams, but the largest are still the seas and oceans. Seawater brings many benefits and plays an important role in human life.

It provides an endless amount of water vapor to the atmosphere to create clouds and rain; Helps maintain an ideal living environment for a large number of animals and plants. It also provides rich mineral and seafood resources for humans, opening up the potential for tourism development... However, seawater is currently seriously polluted and leading to many unpredictable consequences.

Seawater in particular and the ocean in general are characterized by containing large amounts of salt, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide... and organic substances of animal and plant origin. However, when polluted, the natural properties of seawater will be invaded by foreign components and change in a negative direction, leading to consequences.

These include the loss of biodiversity in the marine environment; coastal erosion; economic losses.... Polluted seawater will put marine life at risk of extinction. In addition, the landscape and ecosystem of the sea also face many negative impacts and are severely affected.

It is undeniable that the marine environment is gradually becoming seriously polluted due to many different causes, but most of it is still due to human impacts. This comes from the behavior of littering, dumping waste directly into the environment without treatment....

Therefore, the first solution to protect the purity of the marine environment is to actively propagate and raise awareness of individuals and communities. Taking action to protect us is not too difficult.

People should throw garbage in the right place, do not throw it indiscriminately into rivers, lakes, ponds, and seas. Besides, you need to have a department to collect garbage in coastal areas.

Factories must build waste treatment systems according to standards and implement them in a synchronous manner. It is also extremely important to limit the indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources from the sea.

If we do not act now, the ocean will become more and more polluted. The consequences will not only affect you but also be severe for many generations to come. I have existed and proven my usefulness and importance to humans for so long, so why don't you protect me - protect your living environment?
