Option 1

 * Article title
 * Ecoflation


 * Article Evaluation
 * It is a very scarce article with little information aside from the basics currently. It seems to be closely related to sustainability and how we are burning through our resources faster than they can replenish.


 * Sources
 * Here is a scientific article on general sustainability - https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09614520701469609?casa_token=R5V4znGnC3AAAAAA%3ABW8zWDex83D3bw-hNVsStzN197XMJI0qZiiJNkY-VSjq49OFa7j_ShisnJIzcCdm74g9Wd61vbPsr-Q

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Ecological inheritance


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is very barebones currently. It runs along similar lines as the above, but with a scope on how we are passing on the planet to future generations.


 * Sources
 * Here's an article that talks about the future of climate change - https://www.nature.com/articles/nature08823

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Insect ecology


 * Article Evaluation
 * this is actually pretty well filled out, but Im sure there is more potential information to be added here. Its all about how insects interact as individuals or groups with the environment or ecosystem and since there are always more and more insects to be uncovered and explored I figured there would be potential here.


 * Sources
 * Here's a neat article about antlions and the ecological aspects of their pit building - https://journals.co.za/doi/abs/10.10520/AJA10213589_199

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Old field (ecology)


 * Article Evaluation
 * This was another barren article I found all about old fields. So far, its about what they are, where they can be found and what sort of wild plant species can inhabit them. Old fields have cycles after someone clear cuts or burns the land. They're neat because they inhabit so many wild plants and interesting insects and bugs. The article is a bit bare so there is good potential here I think.


 * Sources
 * Here's a study paper that was conducted all about old-field succession and how the nutrients and plants change over time - https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.2307/1938801

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Sustainable product development


 * Article Evaluation
 * Its another bare one, but it talks about how products we make are so unsustainable and yet the need for products is constantly rising with the needs of societies and what not. Its in everyone's best interest to start designing and producing goods that are sustainably sources and made.


 * Sources
 * Here's a paper about developing sustainable products - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959652602001646?casa_token=CaS8gykxF2EAAAAA:lJAjYUGvSY3wnGcwzr1d6gUnge7BfT6SZ6PxvywagQHXor4ubfRFIIZZNeHqrSz2Z-3j1HFB2J-P
