Nina's Review of Environmental Goods
Very clear and well-writen edit. Good job in breaking down information in parts. Methods and Measures of economic progress sections were great!

Minor changes that may be considered:

- "Environmental goods are a sub-category of public goods." can be placed after the first sentence (I just think it would be appropriate to define "Environmental goods" up front.)

- "Challenges in the way of protecting environmental goods include the fact that their users do not have to pay an upfront cost, and external factors like pollution that can damage environmental goods indefinitely." can be rephrased to: Users not having to pay an upfront cost and external factors like pollution that can damage environmental goods indefinitely are some of the challenges in protecting environmental goods.

- Trade definition section can be moved after the lead. - Maybe include links for "Environmental Goods Agreement" and "WTO". Suggestions for sources: "Environmental Goods Agreement" (https://ustr.gov/trade-agreements/other-initiatives/environmental-goods-agreement) and "WTO" (https://www.wto.org/english/thewto_e/thewto_e.htm)

Overall, nice job! :-)

Review of Brian's section on Environmental Goods
Hey Brian!

I think this is a great article contribution so far. You have really taken advantage of the different ways to break up the article in multiple sub-categories and have thus created a really organized article. You have helped me realize that I need to go through my own article and break it up into smaller, more related pieces of information. You do a great job of outlining what the definition of these goods are and what the current discourse is around the topic (ex: the WTO Environmental Goods Agreement). You also reveal many examples of what the various kinds of goods are, but I would maybe expand on this section a bit more. It is a very technical, business, market, and trade based argument, but I think you could talk more about the different social elements of environmental goods.
