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 the Global trade of secondhand clothing because it details how clothes are recycled and where they go afterward. It is essential to know what happens to the donated clothes. Since many events are happening worldwide, such as pandemics and wars, it must be kept up-to-date with the latest information about secondhand clothing.

The article is good, but the problem is article hasn't been updated with 2022; its last update was in 2017. The article explained what happens to the donation of clothing in good condition won't be distributed equally among all countries. Some will receive garments that aren't torn, whereas others would. The article stated that the clothing would be rated according to its condition on arrival. The article gave a percentage of the clothes and the countries receiving second-hand clothing worldwide. Two books back up the article; the most recent book was in 2020. There hasn't been an update in adding new links in the article; the most recent link was 12 years ago. Adding new links and past events like the pandemic could definitely be up to date on second-hand clothing. With the article being the Start class, there could be so much information we could add now.
