Thesis Paragraph for Commentary

While taking a walk anywhere on the University of Central Florida campus one can easily notice that there are as many if not more recycling bins as trash cans in and around every building. From the dormitories to the student union these bins are placed everywhere. An everyday UCF student might also notice a “UCF Recycles” truck coming to empty those exact recycling bins every once and a while. As students walk around they might notice that one of the trends these days on campus is the pro-environment clothing that many students’ wardrobes have embraced. What is not as apparent as the big plastic recycling tubs or the trendy “go green” t-shirts are the efforts that UCF is making to ensure a healthy environment. From global warming to hazardous waste issues, the Earth’s environmental issues now affect our entire world, and UCF takes an active stance, including group efforts, a green roof, and recycling, to make the environment a healthier place. This is extremely important because it shapes the future for the environmental status of Orlando and teaches students the importance of the global issue of protecting the Earth.
