Thesis: society’s constant consumption of electronics is having bad ecological effects on the environment
Audience: society, the people who are the consumers
Logos: uses a lot of evidence and stats from reliable sources to back up the claims
Ethos: strong, clear, confident tone – can tell they know what they’re talking about which gives them authority over the audience
Pathos: gives examples of what the waste/pollution is doing to the places it is dumped in – makes the audience feel sympathy
