Conserve, REUSE, recycle

1. "Reuse provides maximum function for given material and energy input."

As can be interpreted from the previous quote, Semrau attempts to focus not too heavily on conserving or recycling material, but on reusing it. However, Semrau purposely fails to reveal just how he intends to carry out this plan of "using what you have until it can no longer function" until the very end of the article. I believe that this technique builds suspense as well as a sense of anticipation for the reader. In fact, not knowing the unexpected outcome until the conclusion allowed me to question and dig deeper into the details Semrau did reveal throughout the article. When I reached the resolution of the reading I actually found it rather humerous because of the fact that it was completely surprising and unlike any of the explanations I had been formerly thinking of. Although this essay was not one of abundant suspense, waiting until the end to reveal a most important aspect of the reading added substance to the article and made it enjoyable as well as interesting for me to read.
