excerpt from "A Cooking Revolution: How Clean Energy and Cookstoves Are Saving Lives" by Chef José Andrés, June 7, 2016
You see, from what we cook to how we cook, our food connects with our lives on so many levels. That's why having access to better technology and clean energy for cooking is as equally important as the ingredients in the food being prepared.
It's also why I'm proud to support an effort to bring clean cookstoves and fuels to millions of people in developing countries.
Together with the United Nations, the U.S. government, and partners around the world, the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves focuses on working with local communities and organizations to develop a market for cookstoves and fuels that significantly reduce emissions, cook more efficiently, and fit with local customs and culture.
How has the author used word choice and language to shape the impact of this passage?
By using formal language such as "access to better technology" and "significantly reduce emissions," the author seems objective and impersonal.
By using informal phrases such as "That's why" and "It's also why," the author turns the informational tone of the passage into a persuasive tone.
By using a formal tone, as in "the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves," the author makes the reader feel confident that the organization is effective.
By informally addressing the reader as "you," using the first-person "I," and using contractions, the author helps the reader become interested and involved.
