Self-study
A recent national study of the trash discarded in several representative areas confirmed that Support plastics constitute a smaller proportion of all trash than paper products do, whether the trash is measured by weight or by volume. ███ ██████ ████ █ █████ ██████ ██ ██████ ██ █████ ████ ██ ███ ███████████ ██ ███████ ███ ████ ███████ ███ █████ ████████ ██ ████████ ██ █████ █████████ ████████ ██ ███████ ████████ ██████████ ███ ███████ ███ ██ ████████ ████████ ████ ████ ████ ██ ███ ███████████ ██████████ ████ ████ ██ █████ █████████
Summarize Argument
The author concludes paper products currently hurt the country’s environment more than plastic products. Why? Because paper trash and plastic trash do roughly the same damage, but there’s more paper trash out there, by weight and by volume.
Notable Assumptions
The author assumes there’s nothing else about plastic or paper that makes plastic products more harmful to the environment. This means assuming that plastic does no more harm than paper over a given product’s entire life cycle, including before it becomes garbage.
