STEP 2: RECYCLING RESEARCH
To effectively persuade someone to believe what you believe, do what you want them to do, or agree with you, you need to support your claims with evidence.
Your parents are asking you to help them decide whether your family should participate in your city's new recycling program. Therefore, you need to do some research on recycling.
There are always two sides to every issue. The "pros" of something are the positives, and the "cons" are the negatives. It is important to take a look at both the pros and cons of an issue before deciding your stance.
