Developing Your Argument

1. We should cut down on energy usage.
2. My audience would is anybody who uses energy. Especially Americans because we need to start with ourselves first.
3. I'm going to appeal to peoples using pathos by explainable to them how we are making life bad for our next generations. This will get people to think about how the choices we make can affect our own children.
4. Im going to make my audience believe my by using facts and statistics based on energy consumption, and how its affecting us.
5. One reason we should cut down on our energy usage is because the more coal we burn and use, the more mountain tops we blow up. This leads to all sorts of geographical issues. Another reason to cut back on energy usage is because fossil fuels are finite.
6. A point someone on the opposing side of the argument could possibly make is that we need to be burning fossil fuels to transport foods that we eat.
7. I would answer them by saying we should support our local economy, and help farmers in our own community succeed by buying local food. 
8. Another point someone could make is that our demand for energy is constantly increasing, making it so we need to burn more fossil fuels.
9. I would say yes this is true but, if we cut back on things like heating, lighting, and did simple things like patches up holes in our air ducts we could be using way less energy.
10. The thing that makes this topic so worthy of acknowledgement is that not only would we be benefiting from it for the rest of our lifetime, but our children, and our children children would also be benefiting.
