Title: Algae and its Many Green Faces
Specific Purpose: At the end of my speech, my audience will be aware of the many benefits algae has on the environment.
Thesis: Algae can be used to fight environmental devastation.
Introduction: Extreme events, the increase in carbon dioxide levels, and the increase in overall temperatures are all signs of rapid climate change. It’s likely that the current warming trend is human induced. Our increased use of greenhouse gases trap heat in the troposphere, and warms the planet (Climate Change, 2016). There is hope. One likely combatant is algae. At the end of my speech you’ll know the many ways algae can be used to fight climate change.

In the transesterification, the oil from algae is separated into glycerin and biodiesel.
B. Biodiesel, Biojet fuel and green gasoline can be used in current engines.
1. Biojet fuel, Biodiesel, and green gasoline are molecular identical to the fuels that they are replacing (Algae Biofuels, n.d.).
2. The biofuels can be mixed with traditional fuels.
(Summary…...Within the next 25 years, biofuels will probably be filling up our cars, fueling our flights, and making the world a more environmental friendly place to live.)
[Next we will look at the benefits of algae farms]
V. Algae farms will have many benefits.
A. Not only can algae be created into a gallon of biofuel, but it’s also edible.
1. Deforestation is the result of food production.
Algae produces 40 times more per acre than corn, so If 100 acres of algae are produced, than 4,000 acres of crops don’t need to be planted. 2. Global warming can almost be eradicated by feeding livestock algae (Dave Hazlebeck, CEO of Global Algae Innovations, 2016).
B. Runoff from agriculture has led to global water impairment.
1. When algae is grown there is no runoff. Plus, algae can be grow in almost any type of water.
2. Wastewater and some forms of industrial runoff can be treated and purified by algae (Algae Basics,
