Wasting natural resources is wrong.

Burning huge amounts of trash in incinerators is a waste of natural resources.

Recycling trash wastes fewer resources than burning it in incinerators.

If an incinerator is built, less trash will be recycled.

The city shouldn’t build an incinerator.

The city should not take an action that will inhibit a reduction in resource waste.

If the city is burning huge amounts of trash in an incinerator, the city is wasting resources.

Unsupported. The stimulus doesn’t suggest that the only disposal options are recycling and incineration. It’s true that building an incinerator leads to less recycling, but there might also be more methods! Maybe some trash goes landfills and the rest is either burnt or recycled.

Unsupported. “Recycling more trash” doesn’t necessarily mean recycling all trash—huge amounts could still be burnt! Also, recycling might still waste resources, albeit fewer. Finally, the city might be wasting resources in other ways, too, and recycling trash wouldn’t stop that.

Unsupported. We know that recycling trash helps conserve resources, but we don’t know that this is the most effective way to do so.

Very strongly supported. Burning huge amounts of trash in incinerators wastes resources, so as long as the city is doing that, it is wasting resources. If the city were to avoid wasting resources, it would need to stop burning huge amounts of trash in incinerators!

Unsupported. The city might be wasting resources in other ways! Maybe the city has a policy of leaving lights on in government buildings, or uses wasteful water distribution plans, or engages in any number of other wasteful practices!
