Option 5
Water Bottle The article goes into detail about the variety of devices and materials that hold water. The article did include an environment section but it lacks relevant knowledge. I believe it should include more statistics on how much plastic waste is actually being recycled and a conversation around water bottle contribution to plastic pollution. https://oceana.org/blog/recycling-myth-month-plastic-bottle-you-thought-you-recycled-may-have-been-downcycled-instead/

Option 4
Community Gardening The tone remains neutral and relevant with supported references. Although I feel like the article is lacking the environmental impacts a community garden has. Perhaps even the different gardening methods used for community gardening (greenhouses, raised beds, etc.). https://environmentalevidencejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/2047-2382-3-20

Option 1
Green Bin The article is extremely brief and missing a lot of valuable information. What can be added to this article is what should go into the green bin and the distinction between the green bin and compost bin. Perhaps the landfill can also be discussed about the emissions created from food waste in landfills.

Option 3
Sustainable packaging I like this article but more pictures and supportive data should be included. I also think the environmental could expand with further supporting details. https://tipa-corp.com/sustainable-packaging/

Option 2
Plastic Bag The plastic bag does a good job at explaining the different uses of plastics and includes relevant images. However it does not mention plastic bags costing 10 cents in some states and the benefits that have occured for the environment since mandating the plastic bag fee.
