What is the appeal used in this quote?
"In recent years, recycling costs have increased for cities and companies that let customers sort their own recyclable products. Some consumers take the responsibility seriously--they learn the guidelines for sorting and follow them carefully. Other consumers don't bother to learn or get lazy about keeping the items properly sorted. This means that in addition to receiving material that can be recycled, the recycling companies also receive large amounts of non-recyclable goods mixed in. Sorting the trash from the recyclable material is both time consuming and costly."

What is the appeal used in this quote?
"Some researches believe that the main impact of recycling is to make people feel better about themselves while not making as much of a difference as they might hope. After years of study, many scientists have concluded that the time, expense, and energy required to recycle does not produce results that are truly significant. Furthermore, the false sense of accomplishment that recycling provides may lead consumers to be insistent on solutions that truly do make a difference, such as reducing the amount of packaging used to deliver products."
