NYC

Owen’s essay on NYC approaches a current situation and rising problem, in a different light. He approaches the problem with a different perspective. He uses NYC as an example to show going “green.” When first hearing this, I was unsure what he meant because my mind immediately thought of all the pollution, people and waste. Then, reading further, he establishes and shows how NYC is one of the most populated areas and that if it were spread out, the damage would be far worse, so by actually having such a large number of people in such a small area, there is no way NYC could do more damage than suburbs do to the amount of energy output. It was a very interesting concept and enlightening to think of this outside of the box, but also logically. He also used ethos very well in this passage with his strong facts, which helped to understand him more because it did not seem like an opinion.
