Being environmentally conscious has been the focus of many people for several years, and by judging how much the media has begun to cover such a topic, it will be the concern of more and more people as time passes. Since this planet is the only one we have to live on so far, we need to take care of it the best we possibly can before it’s too late to fix our mistakes. To start, each person will need to see the reason behind taking care of our planet, which is that global warming is a legitimate issue, and every single person on the planet can either make a positive or negative impact on it. Each of the essays I evaluated spoke of different issues regarding or touching on global warming that I had not previously thought too much about, and effectively

She mentions that even the way we produce and rid of our food can increase the amount of harmful gases that are released into our atmosphere. Lappe’s claim is one of fact for the simple reason that she cites several sources throughout her article that help to support her points. The numerous sources she provides also helped her gain credibility and maintain a genuine approach. She appealed to the emotions of the readers by sharing the frustration that many others have with the way we treat the earth. She does this when she states “The food production system contributes its share… After all, where does most of our uneaten food and food ready for harvest that never even makes it to our plates end up? Landfills. Solid waste, including food scraps, produces greenhouse gas emissions from anaerobic decomposition…” (Lappe). She also satisfies the appeal to logos when she refers to the several sources she uses to support her claims. An example of this appeal is when she mentions “Said Greenpeace, the IAASTD report recommends a ‘significant departure from the destructive chemical-dependent, one-size-fits-all model of industrial agriculture’” (Lappe). Lappe’s overall message is that turning to organic solutions for how our food is produced could greatly reduce each person’s …show more content…
He states “if you can prosper from violence, then you should go ahead and be violent” (White), and that this is the very calculation of the Barbaric Heart. White’s claim is one of value because he provides several quotes within his essay to support his claim, one of them being when he quotes the historian Polybius when he speaks of violence as “an ethical construction that we forward to the rest of the world as an image of our virtue” (White). He made himself credible simply by the way I perceived his tone throughout his work, that he was very passionate about what he was speaking against, which was the violent ways of which we live and how science may not always be the answer to our problems, that we can also turn to religion and the arts as a way to solve our environmental problems. Much like Lappe, White appeals to pathos by venting his frustrations with the way people think of how the environmental problems of the world will be solved, that they’d much rather turn to the “professionals” than to search for their own solution. He states “It is part of the thinking that says,
