1. The claim is that we need to cut back on our use of resources in order to effectively improve our quality of life and that of those in the future. The thesis comes out in the last sentence of the first paragraph. It is very clear.

The reasons are that we are destroying the earth
on many different levels, in many different ways. He provides evidence from the
National Resourses Defense Council to provide a testimony as well as a good set
of facts to point the reader towards the direction that they should support

The essay does not really present a
counterargument, but it uses the actions people do not take part in as the example
of why we are ruining the earth. Nobody really should have a counterargument
that would state how we want to ruin the earth. The arguments are dismissive. They
can be proved wrong by many energy saving statistics and what not.

Each sources is implemented into his argument
very well. It really shows exactly what he is trying to say and they are supported
with credible, believable sources. Ones that we may see every day such as an
energy star fridge ad. Most of the sources are up to date as well.

The writer has a very informative tone. It is
basic enough for just about anyone to understand, but it also makes a very clear,
strong and believable point that has some effect on any audience that may
happen to read this. His language is persuasive and easily understandable. The
author puts his beliefs and values into the essay, he uses a personal reference
as a very close example to what is happening. And the emotional impact it had
on him because of the circumstance a loved one now has to live in because of
climate change, and lack of resources.
