Explanation:
A debate is a structured discussion dealing with a issue that envolve two sides: one side supporting a resolution and the other side opposing to it. The topic of a debate could be a yes/no question, just like in this case.
The supportive side is called the positive team or "pro" team, that makes a proposition. So, in this case the proposition is "Yes, because it saves the environment". After this affirmation, the "against" team makes an opposition, in which they point out the reason or reasons that support the "No" part of the aswer.
In a debate, both sides take turns to defend their point of view by giving arguments and counter-arguments (arguments against another idea, suggestion or argument). Also, they can rebut eachother arguments which it means to prove that the other side is wrong.
