The author does a very good job of incorporating facts and
evidence throughout the essay. Almost every single paragraph contained at least
one citation and several had more than one. All of his arguments have
sufficient evidence to back his thesis. He uses a variety of different sources
and types of points to strengthen his claims. For example, in the fifth
paragraph he uses statistics from a survey as well as an example of a specific
school. Reviewing his sources, they all seem to be reputable and ought to be
without bias. They are dated between 2006 and 2008, so they are contemporary
sources for the piece. All six of his sources are directly relevant to his
topic, in reading their titles they all are about environmentalism or the green
movement in some capacity. All but one of his sources seems to be in support of
his argument. Overall his remaining
sources all seem to share pretty similar opinions. I do not feel that one oppositional source is
sufficient to cover the variety of opinions on this matter. I feel like he
could have strengthened his refutation if he had maybe one additional source to
specifically dissect and respond to.
