Introduction to Evidence in Reports
The report highlights several key pieces of evidence to support the conclusion. It cites survey data indicating a 20% increase in recycling rates, along with interviews from local residents expressing their views on waste management. Additionally, statistical charts are used to demonstrate the trend over the past five years. These pieces of evidence collectively strengthen the report’s findings and lend credibility to its recommendations.
