5 questions-about 400 words

1.) There is currently a trash patch in the pacific ocean the size of Texas and it is still growing due to pollution. This causes a huge problem for the animals that call the pacific ocean their home, they and dying everyday from the floating plastic trash dump.

2.) The animals living in the pacific are currently being most affected by the trash dump, but it will soon affect us much more when it finally stretches from coast to coast and starts ruining the beaches and ocean front views that we enjoy so much.

3.) With much suprise of course, we are the cause of this problem. The human race continues to destroy the planet we inhabit with our wasteful mindsets and idea of instantanious gratifaction. We continue to use and produce more and more plastic, but if plastic never breaks down why would we not recycle it? Why would we continue to ruin the world we live in? Hopefully these questions will soon be answered and we can find out why we are the root cause of this very large problem.

4.) There are a few people that attempt to help this problem, but their efforts seem futile considering that more trash is finding its way into this great trash dump everyday.

5.) If this problem is not solved, it will eventually consume all of the pacific and turn a beautiful ocean into a circling bowl of trash soup.

Working Thesis-paper # 2

The great garbage patch in the pacific ocean is the largest envionmental footprint of our time; it is slowly engulfing and destroying more and more of our pacific ocean, but we can help solve this problem by reducing the amount of plastic used, recycling all of our used plastics and last create a biodegradable version of our modern plastic bottles and containters.

Rhetorical Precis-paper #2

In the article The world's rubbish dump: a garbage tip that stretches from Hawaii to Japan, by Kathy Marks and Daniel Howden; they assert that the trash vortex that is engulfing the pacific is a huge problem for us and our enviornment. They support their thesis by giving statistics about the pastics effects on the envionment and using emotional appeal to get you to take their side. They believe that this article will help show the negative effects of our pollution, in order to help us solve a larger problem and clean up our enviornment.The intended audience would be the general public because it is written to inform people of a growing problem.
