Option 1

 * Article title Environmental issues in the Philippines:
 * Article Evaluation
 * the section about water quality and pollution is outdated. I would add in a sentence about the updated water quality process. A laboratory is now the current administrator for testing of water quality in the Philippines. They used to have to rely on government testing that would cause issues with interference. :

Option 2

 * Article title Environmental impact of pig farming:
 * Article Evaluation
 * there is only one sentence written about Australia and pig farming there. I found a scholarly article that says that there is great economic impact in Australia from pig farming because of disease. There is a low quarantine risk due to less consequences after the establishment and less probability of disease. :

Option 3

 * Article title Air pollution in India:
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article does not include much information on places in India that are direct examples of how air pollution has been improved. I was able to find information about how the covid pandemic improved much of India's air quality. They did a study showing AQI before, during, and after covid. The results showed that the lockdown had beneficial impacts on air quality because less NO2 was going in the air and less vehicles were being used on the road, which were the main contributors to India's air quality problem. :

Option 4

 * Article title Food waste in New Zealand:
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is very short and only shows limited knowledge of food waste in New Zealand. After doing some research I found a study that examined people during lockdown times and how their usage of food differed. an interesting result showed that people that financially struggle to afford food, also wasted more food during lockdown. Although this was an anomaly in the study, more research needs to be done on why this occurred. :
