Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

i chose this article to evaluate because it is about forestry, and I am in a forest management course. it is important because reforestation is a huge contributing factor to mitigating climate change. forestation is a massive destabilizer to the environment, and happens around the world, and planting new trees ensures future generations still have trees. my first impression was that i got a lot of information from it. it was short and concise, and left me with few questions.

the article is well put together. i was able to read it quick and absorbed all of the information, no confusion. it sets the tone as neutral, stating the television show, and when it aired. it did not praise denmark, it simply stated it is the first country to do a enviro-telethon, it then describes what happened in the show, and the shows goals to inspire denmark citizens to help the climate. it could have mentioned some data or something about climate change in denmark. it mentioned one guest, the prime minister. this is beneficial because if they mentioned other denmark celebreties, people might not know what they are talking about. if it is the prime minister, there is a better chance of relation.

it describes how many trees were raised, and how long it took. it then mentions a scope outside of denmark, talking about inspiring the world. this is good because it isnt just about denmark. the sources are old, but there is a variety from a video to a journal article. this event happened in 2019, and did not happen again. if this article were to be updated, it could mention how other countries responded, and their results as well. it could also go into how denmark has responded years later. there is no talk about this article, but it has been contributed to many times. there are no photos in the article, but they are included in the references.
