Option 1

 * Article title
 * Food Justice Movement
 * Article Evaluation
 * This particular article is relevant to my topic on the SDGS. It talks about food justice, food systems, poverty and how to combat hunger. The article focuses on sharing information about the way food is produced, distributed and how the systems we are currently working with are not sustainable and efficient to serve the whole population. This article is written in a neutral tone, it uses a large variety of outside reliable sources such as research from the UN itself. However, it has been categorized as an article that could potentially include a personal opinion. I personally didn't find it biased, however, I understand where this could come from. The author shares a few critiques on the food systems and this could be seen as him analyzing the information and making a conclusion on what the problems of our food systems are. The article has also been revised and edited by different authors which has made is stronger and more reliable. This article also has a list of over 15 subtitles, making it more narrow, concise and informative. The article follows a good and clear structure, where the information is easily find and it's not using any unnecessary formal vocab, without it being too informal. In addition, the author made use of clear citations and references, I wasn't able to find any plagiarism or missing citations.
 * This article is well written, clear and with barely any jargon. He is able to use the subtitles in his favor, making everything more clear
 * Sources:
 * The author of this article utilizes a great variety and range of articles/journals and news related to the topic to back up her claims. This particular article opens doors of millions of questions and the sources used in this article are actually a great opportunity for exploration. I was not able to find personal experiences on the authors and exclusion, however, I was able to identify a great variety if international authors, compared to what is usually seen in Wikipedia articles. However, the author made a few mistakes, in the citations or at least some looked different in name

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Ecological debt
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article relates to my topic because it adresses environmental concerns and how countries have reacted to such. This article touches upon a very interesting topic which is the environmental debt of wealthy countries, however, the explanation of such concept lacks clarification and seems overwhelming to understand. This article has been edited a good amount of times, meaning it has been deeply revised, as well, you cant find any messages on if it includes personal opinions or anything alarming as I found in other articles. The topic is very relevant to today's world and it strengthens the idea of the SDGS as universal goals to achieve. The article is written in its majority neutrally, although the topic caan be controversial the author's intent was clearly to simply inform. The author does citates the information and the citations (majority) come from reliable journals and are well cited, there is also a vast quantity of citations. However, many of his citations come from newspapers, which aren't always neutral notes.
 * The article, I believe, tackles a very underestimated topic, something that we overlook and most people don't find interest or importance on knowing about i

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Environmental effects of shipping
 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead section is clear and concise. However, the first two sentences are too concise and not well connected between them, making it look as two different bullet points. We are able to understand what the overall article is about though, from that single paragraph. There are a few concepts, such as slow-steaming, that are presented in the lead section but not further explained in the article, however, this didn't really affect the overall goal. I think there was not a great great balance between too concise or too detailed...
 * As in content, the topic of the article is extremely relevant to my personal topic. We are discussing global evolution, SDGS, the environment and human impact on natural resources. Cargo shipping and all transportation have a heavy impact on the environment and all of those have been and are used by humans. We are also working with the SDG on water which also connects with the topic of water pollution in the article. The article's information is closely updated, most of the stats run to 2017, but things have heavily changed over the last years, specially environmentally and as a global market and transport. The tone of the article is mostly neutral, the author shows no personal opinion. The article is simply informing on different areas of the bigger issue of shipping and pollution, it's a great article when looking narrow down your larger question. The article includes valuable references and a vast number of such, meaning it was well planned and written. The article is well written, there are a few sentences that did't connect well but I still think the vocabulary is formal enough. It is easy to read, specially the subtitles help, however, some subtitles were too narrow and could be confusing or overwhelming. The article is aso very short, it could've had included a lot more information than that, the media is clear and general, it shows the overall picture.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Green waste
 * Article Evaluation
 * - uses repeated photography
 * This article relates to my topic on natural resources management, waste and pollution of the water. It discusses a very necessary and urgent topic, green waste. Although it is very short, it goes to the point and explains the main concerns in the lead section. The abstract is not very clear, specially the keywords and summary given of the source, the vocabulary simply defines pollution and not so much the components of green waste. I think this topic is relevant to everyone, we all need to be more conscious of how we manage our waste, specially green waste, thats what the author aims for. I liked how he showed the uses of green waste, making this article more relevant to projects and current researchers, it also gives you ideas to narrow or open your research.
 * A huge point I found was that it was very short and only included 3 citations, therefore, the perspectives are limited and I felt like there was a lot more to learn about the topic.
