It seems more opinionated then bias. The journalist is presuming that people should continue to use energy and technology because eventually that will lead to wealth. Once people have money, then the environment can begin to become "green." Does incorporate facts and studies but focuses more on his opinion on what people o earth should do before cleaning it up.

I believe people can do their part to clean the environment even if they aren't wealthy. Wealth only means you have more resources to help. However, simple tasks such as recycling don't cost anything and can also help someone make money. While the concept seems easy, it is still hard for some people to grasp. I do believe though if the world begins to recycle, the earth will become a greener place.
