Which article are you evaluating?
Recycling

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 because recycling needs to be discussed when talking about conservation. We are still in a consumer era; however, our resources on Earth are limited, so recycling needs to be one of our primary investments to have a future. My preliminary impression was that it is a good, balanced, and thorough article.

The lead doesn`t give you a full glimpse of everything to expect in the rest of the article and I think the last paragraph can be rewritten to be more concise and clear. There are a wide range of topics and they are thoroughly explained and linked to recycling. The organization and quality are great. Each section has a good ratio of writing and images and the overall article feels balanced. There are a lot of different and reliable sources used and most of the article has a neutral tone.
