1. Green living (practices that promote the conservation and wise use of natural resources) has become a topic of
discussion in many parts of the world today. With changes in the availability and cost of natural resources, many
people are discussing whether conservation should be required of all citizens.
Carefully read the following six sources, including the introductory information for each source. Then synthesize
information from at least three of the sources and incorporate it into a coherent, well-written essay that develops a
position on the extent to which government should be responsible for fostering green practices.
Make sure that your argument is central; use the sources to illustrate and support your reasoning. Avoid merely
summarizing the sources. Indicate clearly which sources you are drawing from, whether through direct quotation,
paraphrase, or summary. You may cite the sources as Source A, Source B, etc., or by using the descriptions in
parentheses.
