It should look something like this: (use transition to move into this paragraph). Though some may claim that Americans are (or are not) addicted to waste, based on America’s landfills, Americans are (or are not) addicted to waste. Several reasons support this idea.

The body paragraphs will develop and prove the reasons you have listed emphatically throughout your paper. Develop each paragraph thoroughly. Remember this is just a template. Develop ideas.
