Outline
I. Introduction
A. Attention-getter
Humans help destroy their lives by destroying the o zone layer day by day.
1. People are creating holes in the o zone layer, which is making the sun more dangerous to our skin, and more people every year are getting skin cancer.
2. People are using a lot of energy, which causes us to burn fuel and pollute the air. With the different gases we have, and with the objects almost everyone owns in their own houses.
3. The increasing temperature is making it hard to grow food and is ruining a lot of plantations and habitats for the animals.
1. The topics I just talked about is what humans are doing to themselves which is creating the problem with holes in the o zone layer and global warming.
2.
II.
BodyA. Body paragraph #1 (first proof of your thesis statement)
1. Topic sentence.
The growth of skin cancer around the world is growing at an extreme rate.
2. Supporting details
3. a. Throughout the years many more women have been diagnosed with BCC (the most common skin cancer). Some rates that I found on “Skin Cancer Rates On the Rise Among Young People” are in
1976-1979 13.4 out of 100,000 but then in 2000-2003 31.6 out of 100,000 were diagnosed.
b. Part of the reason so many people are getting skin cancer is because of the holes in the o zone layer that are being created.
c. It doesn't help either when teenagers think it is only necessary to be tan in the summer and winter. They do whatever they can to become tan. Even using the very dangerous tanning beds year round.
d. The dangers increase when not using the right equipment to protect your self, like suntan lotion, hats, umbrellas, and even trying to prevent being in the sun for long periods of time.
B. Body paragraph
#1 (second proof of your thesis statement)
1. Topic sentence.
Driving back and forth from home to work and school etc. doesn't help our environment either.
2. Supporting details (proof of topic sentence; be specific with details and have enough information)
a. We burn a lot of fuel in one day around the whole world. Even though gas prices are rising the amount of fuel being burned every day is not decreasing.
b. The fuel is not only polluting our air but it is decomposing the ozone layer, along with making the rate of wild fires rise increasingly.
c. Most of houses in the world are helping continue with the problem by having aerosol cans with hairspray or spray paint that also causes a lot of damage to the air.
C. Body paragraph #1 (third proof of your thesis statement)
1. Topic sentence.
The increasing temperature from the thinning of the o zone layer is hurting our environment.
2. Supporting details (proof of topic sentence; be specific with details and have enough information)
a. It is making it hard to grow a lot of our foods that are grown outside because of the temperature it is making it difficult to keep them alive.
b. Animals are having a hard time adapting to this lifestyle with the temperature and trying to create homes for themselves by constantly having to find new places to build their homes.
III. ConclusionA.
Re-state thesis1.
Humans are creating these problems and solutions need to be taken in to action to help save the ecosystem.(Transition sentence goes here)
B. Review main points1.
By using non-fueled powered cars it can help lessen the amount of gas in the air.
2. People can switch to pump bottles for their hairspray and cans of paint to also decrease the amount of different pollutions in the air.Transition sentence goes here)
C. Attention-"goer" (sometimes called the "clincher")
1. We need to start recognizing the problem that is going on and start doing something about it like the ideas I just gave and we can start seeing the changes around the world soon enough.
