Thesis statement regarding Planet Earth by Pk Page

Rather than the author making suggestions on what needs to be done in order to maintain and preserve the earth, the author is questioning certain negative attributes that are present within human beings in general such as: selfishness, isolation or ignorance.

I was wondering if this thesis is any good.

Sorry, but I don't see that at all in the poem; Page is just saying that we have to work hard to take care of the earth– at least as hard as we work to keep up our own homes and raise our own families. It is a very homely poem. However, if that is what you wish to assert, I can fix your thesis statement: Rather than suggesting what needs to be done to preserve the earth, the poet is questioning our negative human attributes: selfishness, isolation and ignorance.

No; a strong thesis is irrefutable.

I beg to differ. A good thesis statement should be debatable; it is the author's job to convince us of that his or her opinion is the right one. Though it is true that the arguments supporting the thesis should be irrefutable.
