Working Thesis: Alternative energy benefits a country that lacks in a healthy environment by
using efficient types of energy, which will improve peoples health.
Refined Thesis: Alternative energy benefits a country that lacks in a healthy environment by
using efficient types of energy, which will drastically improve peoples health and give people
clean abundant types of energy for household and public use.

The author in this article talks about how global climate change threatens the health,
economic prospects, and basic food and water sources of people. The author tells you what could
happen if you use many efficient and clean types of energy including solar, water, wind, and
geothermal energy, which will reduce the number of health problems among the countrys
population and will also reduce the greenhouse gases emissions in the atmosphere currently. The
reason why I chose this article is because it showed me how greenhouse gas emissions can affect
people in negative ways and how difficult it is to get rid of.

In this article, it showed how the environment affects people when the air becomes
hazardous and unhealthy for a normal human. The reduction in factories and the use of more
efficient types of energy should help the countrys pollution problem. When pollution becomes a
problem in a country, it may affects many things like industrial productivity, agriculture and life
in general depending on the severity of the pollution levels in the country. The author also tells
you about global warming and how it affects multiple creatures. The explanation why i chose
this article is because it gives you an understanding of the severity of pollution levels in
countries, which most countries fail to address.

According to the author, this article tells you how pollution negatively affects people and

how alternative energy would clean the emissions of air pollutants. The author also said that
alternative energy is a type of energy source that could contribute to the cleaning of the severe
problem of pollution whether it comes from nuclear facilities or industrial factories. The author
shows how pollution could affect newborn babies and mother and also families altogether. And
how nations need to address the catastrophe of the countrys environment by funding for
renewable resources like water, solar or wind power. I chose this article because it gives you the
resolutions about how to counteract the emissions produced by factories and man-made facilities.
