unnecessary costs associated with waste. You may not think
that our science department is part of the problem, but in our

thousands of precious dollars to light unoccupied rooms, to
keep computers running over the weekend, and to pay for
garbage that could have been recycled for free. Trust me: our
budget has suffered.
 Why did the author use pathos in this section of the memo?

discussing responsibility
