Research Question: What would happen to the environment if this plan were to fail.

Thesis: The Great green wall is a good idea for the environment because it will help stop desertification which is leading to the sahara spreading, start to grow more vegetation, and help with deforestation.

• Topic Sentence #1: The desertification is making the Sahara spread because of deforestation, overgrazing, and over cultivation.

• Topic Sentence #2: More vegetation is a good thing because of the types of trees that they use, it will help to stop desertification, help malnutrition, and erosion.

• Topic Sentence #3: Deforestation is a big part of desertification because it tears the trees that are there down, leads to erosion, and more trees are being cut down each day.
