Because dried peat moss, which is derived from sphagnum moss, contains no chemical additives and is a renewable resource, many gardeners use large amounts of it as a soil conditioner in the belief that the practice is environmentally sound. ████ ███ █████████ ███ ████████ ██ █████ ██ ████████ ████ ██ ███ █████ ██████████ ████ ██████ ██ ███ ██████████ ████ ██ ███ ██ ███ ███████ ████ ███████ █████████ ███ ███ ██████ ████ ████████ ██ █████████ █████ █████ ████ ██████ ████ ████ ███ █████ ███████████
Summary
The author concludes that the use of peat moss, which is made from sphagnum moss, is bad for the environment. This is because sphagnum moss produces large amounts of oxygen, and the peat moss industry is removing far more sphagnum moss than it can replace.
Notable Assumptions
The author’s only supporting evidence for the conclusion that peat moss is bad for the environment is that its creation is removing oxygen from the atmosphere. The author is assuming that this removal of oxygen is bad for the environment, so we’re looking for a principle that explicitly states this rule:
Removing oxygen from the atmosphere is bad for the environment.
