Greetings!

Your thesis statement will need to take a position of some sort; the rest of the paper will then support that position. For example, you could say: "Concern over the environment has grown from a few voices on the fringe, who were considered by most to be alarmists, to a centrist position shared by many. The time has come when the world cannot afford to ignore environmental threats such as ozone depletion and global warming." There are many ways you could say this; you could also take a different position. You could focus on the United States, or talk about what other countries are doing to address environmental concerns. With a broad topic like this, you'll need to narrow it down a bit. You could, for example, contrast what European countries are doing to protect the environment with what the U.S. is doing. Europeans are, in general, considered more "green" than Americans have traditionally been. (A recent trip to Ireland confirmed this--good luck finding paper towels in a public restroom!)

I hope this gives you some ideas to get started!
